Question

−4x−24x+24=10(12−2x) explain how you sloved it...i rllly need this!!!!​

Answer 1

x = -12

Explanation:

First, combine like terms

`-4x-24x+24 = 10(12-2x)\\-28x+24 = 10(12-2x)`

Then, use the distributive property on the right side

`-28x + 24 = 120 - 20x`

Now, add 28x to both sides to get the Xs all together

`24 = 120 + 8x`

Next, subtract 120 from both sides:

`-96 = 8x`

divide both sides by 8:

`-12 = x`

This means the answer is x = -12

Answer 2

x=-12

Explanation:

first collect all the like terms -28x + 24 = 120-20x

then move variables and constants to the correct side -28x + 20x = 120-24

collect like terms again -8x = 96

divide both side by -8 so -8x/-x n 96/-8 you get x=-12 bc -8 time -12 = 96
