Question

2x+3(6x)=-20

what is the answer​

Answer 1

x= -1

Explanation

2x+ 3(6x)=-20

first you havw to use distributive property so that way you can combine 3 and 6x so the equation will now be

2x+ 18x= - 20

next combine like terms

20x= -20

finally in order to get x on its own you have to divide 20 by both sides

20x/ 20 = - 20/ 20

or

x= -1

Answer 2

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Simplify brackets.

2x+3×6x=−20

2. Simplify 3×6x to 18x.

2x+18x=−20

3. Simplify 2x+18x to 20x.

20x=−20

4. Divide both sides by 20.

x=−1
