Question

3(x-4)=2(-2x+1) what is the answer

Answer 1

x = 2

Explanation:

3(x - 4) = 2(- 2x + 1) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides )

3x - 12 = - 4x + 2 ( add 4x to both sides )

7x - 12 = 2 ( add 12 to both sides )

7x = 14 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = 2

Answer 2

`x=2`

Explanation:

`3(x-4)=2(-2x+1)\\3x-12=2(-2x+1)\\3x-12=4x+2\\3x-12+12=-4x+2+12\\\\x=2`
