Question

Which equations have the same value of x as 2/3 (6 x + 12)=-24? Select two options.

4 x + 8 = -24
9 x + 18 = -24
4 x +-16
18 x + 36/2 = -24
4 x = -32

Answer 1

4x + 8 = -24 & 4x = -32

Explanation:

⅔(6x + 12) = -24

6x + 12 = -24×3÷2

6x + 12 = -36

6(x + 2) = -36

x + 2 = -36/6

x + 2 = -6

x = -6 - 2

x = -8

4x + 8 = -24

4x = -32

x = -8 (same)

4x = -32

x = -8 (same)
