Question

Solve. 3(x-6)-2(2x+3)=14

Answer 1

x=-38. Is your answer

Answer 2

x=-38

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(x−6)−2(2x+3)=14

(3)(x)+(3)(−6)+(−2)(2x)+(−2)(3)=14(Distribute)

3x+−18+−4x+−6=14

(3x+−4x)+(−18+−6)=14(Combine Like Terms)

−x+−24=14

−x−24=14

Step 2: Add 24 to both sides.

−x−24+24=14+24

−x=38

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

−x

−1

=

38

−1

x=−38
