Question : 4(3x + 2) -6 x 6

Answer 1

12x - 28

Explanation:

Because of PEMDAS you start with the parentheses and distribute the 4.

So,

(12x + 8) -6 x 6

Then, solve for the 6's

(12x + 8) -36

Remove the parentheses

12x + 8 - 36

Lastly, you get

12x - 28.

This is as far as you can go because there is no equals sign so you cannot actually solve for x.

Answer 2

x= 24

Explanation:

open the bracket

4×3x =12x + 4 × 2 =8

12×+ 8-6×6

12×+ 12

x= 24
