Answer:

C. -2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2(x − 4) = 5x + x − 10

Subtract 5 from both sides,

5x + 2(x - 4) - 5x = 5x + x - 10 - 5x

Simplify,

2(x - 4) = x - 10

Distribute,

2x - 8 = x - 10

Add 8 to both sides,

2x - 8 + 8 = x - 10 + 8

Simplify,

2x = x - 2

Subtract x from both sides,

2x - x = x - 2 - x

Simplify,

x = -2
