Question

-6 - 3(2x + 4) = 18what’s the answer

Answer 1

`x=-6`

Explanation:

`-6-3\left(2x+4\right)=18`

Add 6 to both sides:

`-6-3\left(2x+4\right)+6=18+6`

`-3\left(2x+4\right)=24`

Divide both sides by -3:

`(-3\left(2x+4\right))/(-3)=(24)/(-3)`

`2x+4=-8`

Subtract 4 from both sides:

`2x+4-4=-8-4`

`2x=-12`

Divide both sides by 2:

`(2x)/(2)=(-12)/(2)`

`x=-6`
