Question

How do I solve for 3(2x-1)+2x=4x-11

Answer 1

The answer to the equation is
`x=-2`

First, you must use distributive property to simplify the equation.

`6x-3+2x=4x-11`

Then, you must combine like terms.

`(6x+2x)-3=4x-11`

`8x-3=4x=11`

Next, you must subtract 4x on each side

`4x-3=-11`

Then, add 3 on both sides

`4x=-8`

Finally, divide both sides by 4

`(4x)/(4) =(-8)/(4)`

`x=-2`

Answer 2

x=-2

Explanation:

3(2x-1)+2x=4x-11

6x-3+2x=4x-11

8x-3=4x-11

8x=4x-8

4x=-8

x=-2
