Question

Exercise 1:Solve the following equation X-3(x+2)=4 X - 3 ( x + 2 ) = 4

Answer 1

Given the equation:

`X-3\left(x+2\right)=4`

Then, solve for x:

`\begin{gathered} x-3x-6=4 \\ \end{gathered}`

Add similar elements:

`\begin{gathered} -2x-6=4 \\ -2x-6+6=4+6 \\ Simplify \\ -2x=10 \end{gathered}`

Divide both sides by -2:

`\begin{gathered} (-2x)/(-2)=(10)/(-2) \\ x=-5 \end{gathered}`

Answer: x = -5
