What is the answer to 2(x-4)=-3(x+2)?
2 answers:
First distribute:
2*x = 2x
2*-4 = -8
-3*x = -3x
-3*2 = -6
2x-8=-3x-6
Add 8 to both sides (or vise versa add 6 to both sides). You're adding because both the 8 and 6 are negative.
2x=-3x+2
Now add 3x on both sides (or vice versa subtract 2 on both sides).
5x = 2
Now divide. 5x/5 = 2/5
The 5s get canceled out leaving you with x = 2/5.
