Question

Solve 10 + 6(–9 – 4x) = 10(x – 12) + 8.

A)

x = –6

B)

x = 2

C)

x = 17

D)

x = –18

Answer 1

Answer: x = 2

Explanation:

first, we remove the parentheses.

10 - 54 - 24x = 10x - 120 + 8

then, we just calculate that out.

-44 - 24x = 10x - 112

next, we move the terms.

-24x - 10x = -112 + 44

then, we collect the like terms and calculate it.

-34x = -68

finally, we divide both sides.

x = 2
