Problem: 4x-5(3x+10)=126.
It should be an interger.

I dont know how to do problems with two X's.

I Did:
4x-15x+50=126 126-50=
4x-15x=76 4-15=-11x
76/-11x=6.9 which has to be the wrong way to do it.

Sp can someone please show me how to do it correctly?

WHY not? Miss classes?

That should be 4x - 15x - 50 = 126
Now add 50 to both sides:
4x - 15x - 50 + 50 = 126 + 50
4x - 15x = 176

Finish it; if you can't, you need classroom help.
