Question

6(2x - 5) = -(x + 4)

Answer 1

x = 2

Explanation:

Solve for x:

6(2x - 5) = -(x + 4)

Use the distributive property.

12x - 30 = -(x + 4)

12x - 30 = -x - 4

Add x to both sides.

13x - 30 = -4

Add 30 to both sides.

13x = 26

Divide both sides by x.

x = 2

Your final answer would be x = 2

Answer 2

`6(2x - 5) = - (x + 4)`

`12x - 30 = - x - 4`

`13x = 26`

`x = 2`
