1.44-2(3x+4)=-18x​

Answer 1

Explanation:

You want to solve for x:

First, distribute -2 into the parenthesis, you will end up with 44 - 6x - 8 = -18x

Next, combine like terms, you will end up with 36 - 6x = -18x

Next, add 6x to both sides, you will end up with 36 = -12x

Finally, divide both sides by -12, you will end up with x = -3
