10(x-2)=-20 solve for x

To solve for x, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:

10(x - 2) = -20      Divide 10 on both sides

x - 2 = -2        Add 2 on both sides to get "x" by itself

x - 2 + 2 = -2 + 2

x = 0      

PROOF

10(x - 2) = -20     Substitute/plug in 0 into "x" since x = 0

10(0 - 2) = -20

10(-2) = -20

-20 = -20
