Question

Help me on this please! -24 = -2(x + 19)

Answer 1

X = -7

Distribute the -2 inside the parentheses. You get -24 = -2x -38. Add 38 to both sides. You get 14 = -2x. Divide by -2 into both sides, and you get X = -7.

Answer: x= -7

Explanation:

-24 = -2(x + 19)

-24 = -2x -38

14 = -2x

x= -7
