Question

In the equation, what is the value of x? −4(x + 4x) = 2(2 − x) + 10 A) − 7/ 9 B) − 9/ 7 C) 7 9 D) 9/ 7 Submit

Answer 1

Answer:

-4(x + 4x) = 2(2 - x)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Use the distributive property to solve: a(b + c) = ab + ac

-4x - 16x = 4 - 2x

2. Simplify:

-20x = 4 - 2x

3. Add 2x to both sides:

-20x + 2x = 4 - 2x + 2x

4. Simplify:

-18x = 4

5. Then, divide both sides by -18:

-18x/-18 = 4/-18

6. Simplify:

x = -2/9 <------ Correct

But your multiple choices are incorrect, so maybe you didn't write down the question right because my answer is correct- given the steps showing how to do it.

But, Hope this helped!!!
