Answer:

X = -10

Explanation:


2(x + 3) = x - 4

Multiply each term in the parenthesis by 2


2 x + 6 = x - 4

Move variable to L.H.S and change its sign


2x - x + 6 = - 4

Move constant to R.H.S and change its sign


2x - x = - 4 - 6

Calculate


x = - 10

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...
