Question

Type the correct answer in the box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar.

Answer 1

Answer: x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we want to solve the equation:

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

the first step is distribute the parentheses at both sides:

-2x -12 + 3 = -11x + 4x + 16

-2x - 9 = -7x + 16

now, we put all the termx with an x in one side, and the other ones in the other side.

-2x + 7x = 16 + 9

5x = 25

now we divide by 5 in both sides, in this way we can isolate x.

5x/5 = 25/5

x = 5

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a linear single variable equation of x and we have to get the value of x from the equation.

Now, the equation is

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

⇒ - 2x - 12 + 3 = - 11x + 4x + 16

⇒ 5x = 25

⇒ x = 5 (Answer)
