Question

6(-3x+8)=-3(5x +4) solve for x

Answer 1

X=20 distribute and combine like terms then divide

Answer 2

6(-3x+8)=-3(5x +4)

Distributive property:

-18x + 48 = -15x -12

Add 15x to both sides:

-3x + 48 = -12

Subtract 48 from both sides:

-3x = -60

Divide both sides by -3:

x = -60 / -3

x = 20
