Question

Solve the equation
50=4(x-7)-6(3x-6)

Answer 1

50 = 4(x - 7) - 6(3x - 6)

Apply the Distributive Property to get rid of the parentheses first. The Distributive Property: a(b + c) = ab + ac.

50 = 4(x - 7) - 6(3x - 6)

50 = 4x - 28 - 18x + 36

Collect like terms (constants and x-terms).

50 = 4x - 28 - 18x + 36

50 = -14x + 8

Subtract 8 from both sides to isolate the variable term.

42 = -14x

Divide both sides by -14 to isolate x.

42/-14 = -14x/-14

-3 = x

Answer:

x = -3

Answer 2

we are given

`50=4(x-7)-6(3x-6)`

Firstly , we can distribute

`50=4x-28-18x+36`

now, we can combine like terms

`50=-14x+8`

`-14x=42`

now, we can solve for x

and we get

`x=-3`...........Answer
