Question

What is the value of x?
3(-9 - 4x) - 4= 8x - 9(x + 12)

Answer 1

x=7

Explanation:

3(-9 - 4x) - 4= 8x - 9(x + 12)

distribute

-27-12x-4=8x-9x-108

combine like terms

-31-12x=-x-108

add x to both sides

-31-12x+x-108

add 31 to both sides

-12x+x=-108+31

combine like terms

-11x=-77

divide both sides by -11

x=7
