Question

What is the awnser to -10x+3(4x-2)=6

Answer 1

remember, you can do anything to an equation as long as yo do it to both sides
first, distribute
remember that a(b+c)=ab+ac
so
3(4x-2)=3(4x)+3(-2)=12x-6
so

-10x+3(4x-2)=6
-10x+12x-6=6
2x-6=6
add 6 to both sides
2x=12
divide by 2
x=6

Answer 2

Hello there!

In order to solve that equation, you would need to distribute the 3 inside the parenthesis.

-10x + 3(4x - 2) = 6
-10x + 12x - 6 = 6

Then you would need to keep the variable in the left and everything else to the right - in other words, solving for x.

-10x + 12x - 6 = 6
2x = 12
x = 6

Your answer would be 6.
