Question

What is the solution to this equation 9x-4(x-2)=x+20

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

9x(x) -4(-2)= x+20

9x+8= x+20

9x=x+12

8x=12

8/12

x= 0.7

Answer 2

x=3

hope it helps

Explanation:

reorder the forms

9x-4(x-2)=x+20

↓

9x-4(-2+x)=x+20

↓

9x+(-2*-4+x*-4)=x+20

↓

9x+(8+-4x)=x+20

reorder the terms

8+9x+-4x=x+20

combine like terms: 9x+-4x=5x

8+5x=x+20

reorder the terms

8+5x=20+x

solve for x

4x=12

↓

x=3
