Question

-2(4х + 4) — 3х – 2 = 34
Find x

Answer 1

x = -4

Explanation:

Distribute the -2 into the parentheses and your equation becomes -8x - 8 - 3x - 2 = 34

Then combine the -8x and -3x as well as the -8 and -2 to have -11x - 10 = 34

Add 10 to both sides and get -11x = 44

Divide both sides by -11 for x=-4
