Answer:
[tex]x = 16[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Add 79 to both sides
[tex]10x - 79 + 79 = 2x + 49 + 79[/tex]
[tex]10x = 2x + 128[/tex]
Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides
[tex]10x - 2x = 2x - 2x + 128[/tex]
[tex]8x = 128[/tex]
Step 3: Divide 8 from both sides
[tex]\frac{8x}{8} = \frac{128}{8}[/tex]
[tex]x = 16[/tex]
Answer: [tex]x = 16[/tex]
