Question

2(2x + 3) = -6(x + 9)

Answer 1

Your answer is -6.

Explanation:

Simplify 2(2x+3) to get 4x+6

Then simplify -6(x+9) to get -6x-54

Now you have 4x+6=-6x-54

Move all of the coefficients to one side:

10x+6=-54

Move all of the constants to the other side:

10x=-60

Divide each side by 10:

10/10x=-60/10

To get your answer of -6.
