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
-7
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
