Question

How to solve for x for solving equations with variable on both sides

Answer 1

x = -8

Explanation:

3(x - 2) = 4x + 2

First lets distribute the 3

3x - 6 = 4x + 2

Next lets add 6 to both sides

3x = 4x + 8

Next lets subtract 4x from both sides

-1x = 8

Last lets divide both sides by -1 to isolate x

x = -8

Hope this helps!!
