Question

76(-2x-3) = 19x + 6. Solve for x.

Answer 1

`76(-2x-3)=19x+6`

First, lets expand the left side.

`-152x-228=19x+6`

Add 152x on both sides.

`-228=171x+6`

Subtract 6 on both sides.

`-234=171x`

Divide both sides by 171.

`-234/171=x`
Finally, x is equal to -234/171, which can be simplified to -26/19, or approximately 1.368.
