Question

+ + 2 + + 4 + + 6 = −28.

Answer 1

x = - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial expression is:

x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = - 28

So, we can reorganize the terms and add the like terms:

(x + x + x + x) + (2 + 4 + 6) = - 28

4x + 12 = - 28

Then, we can subtract 12 from both sides:

4x + 12 - 12 = - 28 - 12

4x = - 40

Finally, divide both sides by 4:

4x/4 = - 40/4

x = - 10

So, the solution of the equation is x = - 10
