Question

3(2x - 3) = 4(2x + 4)​

Answer 1

x = -25/2 or -12.5

Explanation:

3*(2x - 3) = 4*(2x + 4)​

6x - 9 = 8x + 16

6x - 8x = 16 + 9

-2x = 25

x = -25/2 or -12.5

------------------------

check

3 * (2 * (-12.5) - 3) = 4 * (2 * (-12.5) + 4)

3 * (25 - 3) = 4 * (12.5 + 4)

3 * 22 = 4 * 16.5

66 = 66

the answer is good

Answer 2

Explanation:

Open the brackets

3 x 2x = 6x

3x -3 = -9

4 x 2x= 8x

4 x 4= 16

6x - 9 = 8x + 16

Move same to same side

-16 -9 = 8x - 6x

-25 = 2x

x -25/2

x = -12.5
