Question

What is equivalent to 4(2x+6)=3(x-2)

Answer 1

Answer: x = -6

Explanation:

(4)(2x)+(4)(6)=(3)(x)+(3)(−2) (Distribute)

8x+24=3x+−6

8x+24=3x−6

Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.

8x+24−3x=3x−6−3x

5x+24=−6

Step 3: Subtract 24 from both sides.

5x+24−24=−6−24

5x=−30

Step 4: Divide both sides by 5.

5x /5 =5/−30

x=−6

Answer 2

x=-6

Explanation:

4(2x+6)=3(x-2)

8x+24=3x-6

-24= -24

8x=3x-30

-3x =-3x-30

5x = -30
