Answer 2

In this equation, the value of x is 9.

Explanation:

-4(6x + 3) = -12(x + 10)

Distribute -4 to (6x + 3) and distribute -12 to (x + 10).

-24x - 12 = -12x - 120

Add 12x on both sides of the equation.

-12x - 12 = -120

Add 12 on both sides of the equation.

-12x = -108

Divide -12 on both sides of the equation.

x = 9

The value of x in this equation is 9.
