Answer :
The given expression is
[tex]-2(x-10)[/tex]
And we have to find the value of the expression when x =5
And for that, we plug 5 for x in the given expression. That is
[tex]-2(5-10)[/tex]
And difference of 5 and 10 is -5. So we will get
[tex]=-2*-5 =10[/tex]
So when x =5, the value of the expression is 10 .
Answer:
The value of the expression at x=5 is 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is [tex]-2(x-10)[/tex]
Let us simplify this expression.
Distribute -2 over the parentheses, we get
[tex]-2x+20[/tex]
Now, substitute x = 5, we get
[tex]-2(5)+20[/tex]
On simplifying, we get
[tex]-10+20\\=10[/tex]
The value of the expression at x=5 is 10
