Question

2(2x + 3) = -5



Type your answer as a fraction

Answer 1

x = -11/4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you distribute.

2(2x + 3) = -5. 4x + 6 = -5.

Then, you subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

4x + 6 = -5. 4x + 6 - 6 = -5 - 6.

Simplify ( Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator )

Thats how you get the answer!

Answer 2

2(2x + 3) = x5

4x + 6 = -5

Solution

X= - 11/4
