Answer: [tex]-4[/tex]
Simplify both sides of the equation
[tex]5x+50=30[/tex]
Subtract 50 from both sides
[tex]5x+50-50=30-50\\5x=-20[/tex]
Divide both sides by 5
[tex]5x/5=-20/5\\x=-4[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]50 + 5x = 30 \\ 5x = 30 - 50 \\ 5x = - 20 \\ \frac{5x}{5} = \frac{ - 20}{5} \\ x = ( - 4)[/tex]
