Answer:
x = -4
Explanation:
[ Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation ]
4(x + 4 ) = 24 + 6x
(4)(x) + (4)(4) = 24 + 6x (Distribute)
4x + 16 = 24 + 6x
4x + 16 = 6x + 24
[ Step 2: Subtract 6x from both sides ]
4x + 16 − 6x = 6x + 24 − 6x
−2x + 16 = 24
[ Step 3: Subtract 16 from both sides ]
−2x + 16 − 16 = 24 − 16
−2x = 8
[ Step 4: Divide both sides by -2 ]
-2x / -2 = 8 / -2
x = -4
