Question

Solve the equation and check your solution: -2(x + 2) = 5 - 2x

Answer 1

I think the answer might be -4 = 3x.

Explanation:

-2 times x + 2 = -4 and 5 - 2x = 3x so i think the answer is -4 = 3x. Also, you're welcome if this helps.

Answer 2

The equations is False. X would equal to 9 however when substituting the variable in, it isn’t the same

-2(x+2)=5-2x
-2x-4=5-2x
-2x+2x=5+4
X=9
