Question

Pls solve 2(3 - x) -12 + 4x = -3x -9

Answer 1

x=-3/5

Explanation:

`2(3-x)-12+4x=-3x-9`

`6-2x-12+4x=-3x-9`

`-6+2x=-3x-9`

`2x+3x=-9+6`

`5x=-3`

`x=(-3)/(5)`

Answer 2

x = -3/5

Explanation:

2(3 - x) -12 + 4x = -3x -9

Distribute

6 -2x -12 +4x = -3x -9

Combine like terms

2x -6 = -3x -9

Add 3x to each side

2x+3x -6 = -3x+3x -9

Add 6 to each side

5x -6+6 = -9+6

5x = -3

Divide each side by 5

5x/5 = -3/5

x = -3/5
