Question

3(2-x)+4=-8 solve for x

Answer 1

Explanation:

3(2-x)+4=-8

by using BODMAS rule, on opening the bracket

6-3x+4=-8

10-3x=-8

10+8=3x

18=3x

18/3=x

x=6

Answer 2

x = 6

Explanation:

Given equation:

3(2 - x) + 4 = -8

Distribute the 3 on the left side:

6 - 3x + 4 = -8

Combine the constants on the left side:

10 - 3x = -8

Subtract 10 from both sides to isolate the term with x on the left side:

-3x = -8-10

-3x = -18

Divide both sides by -3 to solve for x:

`\sf (-3x)/(3)=(-18)/(3)`

x = 6

So, the solution for the equation 3(2 - x) + 4 = -8 is x = 6.
