Question 7 of 12 Solve: 3x- 8 = 6(1 - 2x) + 16 O A. x = 2 O B. x = 5 O C. x= -2 O D. There are infinitely many solutions.

​

Answer 1

A. x =2

Step-by-step explanation: Rearrange terms 3x - 8 = 6 ( 1 - 2x ) + 16 ---> 3x - 8 = 6 ( -2x + 1 ) +16

Distribute

Add the numbers

Add 8 to both sides of the equation

Simplify

Add 12x to both sides of the equation

Simplify

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

Simplify -------> x=2
