Question

-2(x-3)=4 solving for x

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 1

Explanation:

−2(x − 3) = 4

$[ \ Simplify \ both \ sides \ of \ the \ equation \ ]$

−2(x − 3) = 4

(−2)(x) + (−2)(−3) = 4 $[ \ Distribute \ ]$

−2x + 6 = 4

$[ \ Subtract \ 6 \ from \ both \ sides \ ]$

−2x + 6 − 6 = 4 − 6

−2x = −2

$[ \ Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ -2 \ ]$

-2x / -2 = -2 / -2

x = 1
