Question

What is 6(3x - 4) = -8

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 8/9

Step-by-step explanation:

6(3x - 4) = -8

Distribute the 6

18x -24 = -8

Add 24 to each side

18x -24+24 = -8+24

18x = 16

Divide each side by 18

18x/18 =16/18

Simplify the fraction by dividing top and bottom by 2

x = 8/9

Step-by-step explanation:

6(3x - 4) = -8 ⇔ 18x - 24 = -8 ⇔ 18x = 16 ⇔ x = 16/18 = 8/9
