Question

6 - 6x = -2(x + 5)
Solve for x

Answer 1

x=4

Explanation:

6 - 6x = -2 (x + 5)

6 - 6x = -2x -10

4x = 16

x = 4

Answer 2

x=4

Explanation:

6 - 6x = -2(x + 5)

Distribute

6-6x = -2x -10

Add 6x to each side

6-6x+6x= -2x-10+6x

6 = 4x-10

Add 10 to each side

6+10 = 4x-10+10

16 = 4x

Divide by 4

16/4 = 4x/4

4 =x
