Question

Choose all the equations that are equivalent

to -3(x - 2) = 4x − 2(x - 1).
-
Enter the corresponding letters, in alphabetical
order, separated by commas (without spaces).
A. -5x = -4
B. -5x = 4
C. -5x = 8
D. 2x - 4 =-3x
E. -3x + 6 = 2x + 2
F. -3x - 6 = 2x - 2

Answer 1

A, E

Explanation:

lets first solve the equation using distributive property:

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

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

-3x+6=2x+2 (E)

Now move the like terms on one side:

-3x-2x=2-6

-5x=-4 (A)

Answer 2
