Question

3x-7(4+2x)=-x+2 solve for x​

Answer 1

Answer: X=-3

Explanation:

3x-7(4+2x)=-x+2

I would apply the BODMAS rule here by first trying to eliminate the brackets.

To do this I will multiply -7 by (4+2x) =-28-14x. Now the equation becomes 3x-28-14x=-x+2. We collect like terms. 3x-14x+x=2+28. -10x=30. We would divide both sides by -10 to get our X. We have X=-3

Answer 2

answer: x = 11

1. distribute

2. combine like terms

3. add 1x to each side

4. add 42 to each side

5. divide 4 from each side

x=11
