Question

Plzzzz help me thxs !!!

Answer 1

i got A and B.

Explanation:

for a, subtract 6 from both sides and your new equation should be 2x=-4

the divide -4 by 2 which is -2

for b, you multiply 2 by each number in the parenthesis so your new equation should be 2x-8=6x. then subtract 2x from 6x and get 4x then divide -8 by 4 to get -2. im 100% sure abt A but i was a little confused on B good luck tho

Answer 2

b) 2 (x - 4) = 6x

Explanation:

equation:

⇒ 2 (x - 4) = 6x

use distributive property:

⇒ 2 (x - 4) = 6x

⇒ 2x - 8 = 6x

subtract x from both sides:

⇒ 2x - 2x - 8 = 6x - 2x

⇒ -8 = 4x

divide both sides by 4:

⇒
`(-8)/(4) = (4x)/(4)`

⇒ -2 = x

to check, substitute -2 for x: answer should be the same

2 (x - 4) = 6x

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

-4 - 8 = -12

-12 = -12
