Question

2(x + 4)= -5 + 1 what is this answer

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Equation:

                    $2(x + 4)= -5 + 1$

Solving the Equation for 'x':

                  $2(x + 4)= -4$

              $2(x) + 2(4)= -4$

                      $2x+8=-4$

Subtracting '8' both sides:

                        $2x=-4-8$

                        $2x=-12$

Dividing by '2' both sides:

                         $x=-12/2$

                           $x=-6$

The Solution for the equation is:  $x=-6$

Answer 2

Answer: X = -6

Explanation:
2(x+4) = -5 + 1
2x + 8 = -4
2x = -4 - 8
2x = -12 divide both sides by 2
X = -6
