Question

Solve for x:
3(x - 2) = 4x + 8

Answer 1

Explanation:

3x-6=4x+8

-8-6=4x-3x

-14=x

Answer 2

x = -14

Explanation:

3(x - 2) = 4x + 8

~Distribute left side

3x - 6 = 4x + 8

~Add 6 to both sides

3x = 4x + 14

~Subtract 4x to both sides

-x = 14

~Divide -1 to both sides

x = -14

Best of Luck!
