Answer:
x = -54
Explanation:
6 - 4(x - 3) = 6 - 4x + 12 (4 times x, 4 times -3) = -4x + 18 (12 + 6).
-4(2x + 9) + 3x = -8x (-4 x 2x) - 36 (-4 x 9) + 3x = -5x (-8x + 3x) - 36.
-5x - 36 = -4 + 18
+36 +36
-5x (-36 + 36 = 0) = -4x + 54 (18 + 36)
+4x +4x
-x = 54 (-4x + 4x = 0)
÷1 ÷1
x= -54
distribution- -8x-36+3x=6-4x+12
add like terms- -5x-36=-4x+18
get x alone -5x=-4x+54. added 36 to both sides
add 4x to both sides -x=54
divide by -1. x= -54
