Question

Please help me solve this.

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is -0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$-2(5x-6)+6x=4(x+4)$

Use distributive property to solve the above equation.

$-2(5x)-2(-6)+6x=4(x)+4(4)$

$-10x+12+6x=4x+16$

$-4x+12=4x+16$

Add 4x both sides.

$12=8x+16$

Subtract 16 from both sides.

$-4=8x$

Divide both sides by 8.

$\frac{-4}{8}=\frac{8x}{8}$

$-0.5=x$

Therefore value of x is -0.5.
