Answer:

x= -7

Explanation:

1/2(4-6x)=23

Take1/2 of the numbers in the (). It will be 2-3x.

2-3x=23 subtract 2 from both sides to get x by itself

-3x=21 now divide the 21 by -3

x= -7

Answer:

-7

Explanation:

1/2 ( 4 - 6x ) = 23

Using distributive property...

1/2 ( 4 ) and 1/2 ( -6x ) = 23

2 - 3x = 23

2 - 3x -2 = 23 - 2

-3x = 21

-3x / -3 = 21 / -3

x = -7
