Answer 2

x = 3/5

Explanation:

This equation can be solved with algebraic techniques. We will simplify the equation by combining like terms and then use algebraic techniques in order to solve for x.

2(x - 4) + 2x = -6x - 2 Use the distributive property.

2x - 8 + 2x = -6x - 2 Combine like terms (variable terms first).

4x - 8 = -6x - 2 Add 6x to both sides of the equation.

10x - 8 = -2 Add 8 to both sides of the equation.

10x = 6 Divide by 10 on both sides of the equation.

x = 6/10 Simplify the fraction.

x = 3/5
