Answer:
x=-20
Explanation:
Given
-6(x+7)= -4x - 2
First of all, we have to solve brackets
So,
-6x-42=-4x-2
To find the solution of this equation, we have to isolate x on one side of the equation.
Adding 4x on both sides
-6x-42+4x = -2-4x+4x
-2x-42 = -2
Adding 42 on both sides
-2x-42+42 = -2+42
-2x=40
Dividing both sides by -2
-2x/2 = 40/-2
x = -20
The equation has only one solution which is x=-20 ..
