Question

Question 4 Solve 4(3x + 5) = 2

Answer 1

Answer:

-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

$4(3x+5)=2$

Distribute the left:

$12x+20=2$

Subtract 20 from both sides:

$12x=-18$

Divide both sides by 12:

$x=-18/12=-3/2$

So, our answer is -3/2 or -1.5.

And we're done!
