Question

Solve 2(x+3)=x-4
solve 4(5x-2)=2(9x+3)​

Answer 1

Answer: X=-10 and X=7

Step-by-step explanation: 2(x+3)=x-4 Distribute 2x+6=x-4 Subtract both sides by 6 SImplify x=-10

4(5x-2)=2(9x+3) Distribute 20x-8=2(9x+3) Add both sides by 8 x=7

Answer 2

2(x+3)=x-4 x = -10

4(5x-2)=2(9x+3) x = 7

Explanation:

2x+6=x-4

Subtract 6 from both sides

2x=x-10

Subtract "x" from both sides

x=-10

20x-8=18x+6

You want to isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable
x=7
