Question

Steps for -3(x+2)=4+2x

Answer 1

x = -2

Explanation:

-3(x + 2) = 4 + 2x

= -3x + -6 = 4 + 2x (Distribution: -3)

= -3x + -2x - 6 = 4 (Moving the variables to the left and change the signs)

= -3x + -2x = 4 + 6 (Move consatnts to the right and change signs)

= -3x - 2x = + 6 --> (Collect like terms)

= -5x = 10 (Then add)

= (divide -5x = 10 by -5)

= x = 2
