Question

Solve the following:

2(x + 3) = x - 4

4(5x - 2) = 2(9x + 3)

Answer 1

Step-by-step Solution(s):

Solving for 2(x + 3) = x - 4.

• 2(x + 3) = x - 4
• => 2x + 6 = x - 4
• => 2x - x = -6 - 4
• => x = -10

Solving for 4(5x - 2) = 2(9x + 3)

• 4(5x - 2) = 2(9x + 3)
• => 20x - 8 = 18x + 6
• => 20x - 18x = 8 + 6
• => 2x = 14
• => x = 7
