Question

Solve for x.2(-x - 4) = 4x + 16
a) 4
b) 3
c) -3
d) -4

Answer 1

44

Explanation:

Answer 2

X=-4

Explanation:

First, we must solve for the parenthesis so...

-2x-8=4x+16

Then we must simplify this even more so lets add the 8 to 16

-2x=4x+24

Then we must subtract 4x from -2x

-6x=24

we must now divide 24 by -6 so we can isolate the x

x=-4

I hope this helped :)
