Question

What’s the solution of 4= -2(x-3)

Answer 1

x=1
first remove ()
so 2=-(x-3)
2=-x+3
x=3-2
x=1

Answer 2

Explanation:

Simplifying 4 + -2(x + -3) = 24 Reorder the terms: 4 + -2(-3 + x) = 24 4 + (-3 * -2 + x * -2) = 24 4 + (6 + -2x) = 24 Combine like terms: 4 + 6 = 10 10 + -2x = 24 Solving 10 + -2x = 24 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-10' to each side of the equation. 10 + -10 + -2x = 24 + -10 Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0 0 + -2x = 24 + -10 -2x = 24 + -10 Combine like terms: 24 + -10 = 14 -2x = 14 Divide each side by '-2'. x = -7 Simplifying x = -7
