Question

4. 3(4 – 2x) = –2x (1 point) –1 1 2 3

Answer 1

`x=3`

Explanation:

we are given

`3(4-2x)=-2x`

Since, we have to solve for x

so, we will isolate x on anyone side

step-1:

Distribute 3

`3* 4-3* 2x=-2x`

`12-6x=-2x`

step-2:

Add both sides by 6x

`12-6x+6x=-2x+6x`

`12=4x`

step-3:

Divide both sides by 4

`(12)/(4) =(4x)/(4)`

`3=x`

So, solution is

`x=3`
