Question

28=-6x-12+2x need help solving for x

Answer 1

x = -10

Explanation:

`28 = - 6x - 12 + 2x`

Collect like-terms (also, when moving the terms to the other side, make sure to change their sign into the opposite of the previous one):

`6x - 2x = - 12 - 28`

`4x = - 40`

Divide both sides of the equation by 4 to make x the subject:

`x = - 10`

Answer 2

Explanation:

28=-6x-12+2x

28+12=-6x-12+12+2x

40=-4x

x=-10
