Question

2 + 3(x + 2x) = −2x(2 − 4) + 1
A) −5
B) − 1 5
C) 5
D) 1 5

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:2+3x+6x=-4x+8x+1

2+3x+6x=4x+1

3x+6x-4x=1-2

3x+2x=-1

X=-5

Answer 2

Answer: B - 1/5

Explanation:

2 + 3(x + 2x) = −2x(2 − 4) + 1

2 + 3(3x) = −2x(-2) + 1

2 + 9x= 4x + 1

Collect like terms

9x - 4x = 1 - 2

5x = - 1

Divide both side by 5

5x/5 = - 1/5

X= - 1/5
