Question

Solve for x: 4(x + 2) = 3(x − 2)

−2
−4
−10
−14

Answer 1

D) -14

Explanation:

4(x + 2) = 3(x − 2) Distribute

4x + 8 = 3x - 6 Subtract 3x on both sides

x + 8 = -6 Subtract 8 on both sides

x = -14

Answer 2

-14

Explanation:

multiply into each parenthesis

4x+8=3x-6

-8 from both sides

4x=3x-14

subtract 3x from both sides

x=-14
