Question

Please help me solve this.

Answer 1

The value of x is -0.5.

Explanation:

The given equation is

`-2(5x-6)+6x=4(x+4)`

Use distributive property to solve the above equation.

`-2(5x)-2(-6)+6x=4(x)+4(4)`

`-10x+12+6x=4x+16`

`-4x+12=4x+16`

Add 4x both sides.

`12=8x+16`

Subtract 16 from both sides.

`-4=8x`

Divide both sides by 8.

`(-4)/(8)=(8x)/(8)`

`-0.5=x`

Therefore value of x is -0.5.
