Question

2(x + 4) = 3(2x - 2)



HELP!!!

Answer 1

x= 7/2

Explanation:

2x + 8 = 6x - 6

2x - 6x = -6 - 8

- 4x = -14

x = 7/2

Answer 2

7/2 = x

Explanation:

2(x + 4) = 3(2x - 2)

Distribute

2x+8 = 6x -6

Subtract 2x from each side

2x-2x+8 = 6x-2x -6

8 = 4x -6

Add 6 to each side

Add 6 to each side

8+6 = 4x-6+6

14 = 4x

14/4 = 4x/4

7/2 = x
