Question

4(x + 2) − 2x = 4(x − 3) please show work

Answer 1

x=10

Explanation:

*The eight is negative and not positive. The answer is x=10

Answer 2

x = 20

Explanation:

PEMDAS

P = parenthasees

E = exponents

M = multiplication

D = division

A = addition

S = subtraction

this is the order

so first

4x + 8 -2x = 4x - 12

No exponents

no Multiplication

No division

Addition

So for this, we have to subtract the 4x on both sides to get

x + 8 - 2x = -12

then do -8

x - 2x = -20

then

-x = -20

x = 20
