Question

Solve the equation: 3(x + 4) = 2(x - 6) x = -24x = -28x = -68x = -72

Answer 1

hello

the equation given is

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

step 1

multiply the coeffiecients with the brackets and the proceed to simplfy

`\begin{gathered} 3(x+4)=2(x-6) \\ 3x+12=2x-12 \end{gathered}`

step 2

collect like terms

`\begin{gathered} 3x-2x=-12-12 \\ x=-24 \end{gathered}`

the value of x = -24
