Question

What dose this equal 2(6x-4)=3(6x+2)

Answer 1

-7/3

Explanation:

2(6−4)=3(6+2)

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

Solve

1

Distribute

2(6−4)=3(6+2)

{\color{#c92786}{2(6x-4)}}=3(6x+2)

12−8=3(6+2)

{\color{#c92786}{12x-8}}=3(6x+2)

2

Distribute

12−8=3(6+2)

12x-8={\color{#c92786}{3(6x+2)}}

12−8=18+6

12x-8={\color{#c92786}{18x+6}}

3

Add

8

8

to both sides of the equation

12−8=18+6

12x-8=18x+6

12−8+8=18+6+8

12x-8+{\color{#c92786}{8}}=18x+6+{\color{#c92786}{8}}

Answer 2

Use distributive property and PEMDAS

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

12x-8=18x+6

now add like variables....

-12x on both sides..

6x-8=6

+8 on both

6x=14

divide 6 on both sides

14/6 is
