Max now has 7 apples and Jen is mean...
The correct answer is X=-2.
First remove the parentheses and factor out 2.
1/2•(2-6x)-4(x+3/2)=-(x-3)+4 turns into
1/2•2(1-3x)-4(x+3/2)=-(x-3)+4.
Then distribute -4 through the parentheses,
1/2•2(1-3x)-4x-6=-(x-3)+4
Then change the sign of the x-3 to x+3,
1/2•2(1-3x)-4x-6=-x+3+4
Then reduce the numbers with the greatest common factor which is 2,
and remove unnecessary parentheses,
1-3x-4x-6=-x+7
Then calculate the differences and collect like terms,
-5-7x=-x+7
Then move the variable to the left side and change its sign, and move the constant to the right hand side and change its sign,
-7x+x=7+5
Then add and collect the like terms,
-6x=12
And finally divide both sides by -6 to get X=-2.
Whew lol

Answer:
x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!
In order to solve this equation, you need to combine like terms
The equation after combining the x terms and the contants will look like this
10x+3=12x+7
Now you have to take 10x away from both sides
3=2x+7
Now bring all the constants to the left side
3-7=2x
Simplify
-4=2x
divide 2 on both sides to get x by itself
x=-2
So, the answer is x=-2
