Lizzy wants to solve the equation 6(2x + 1) = 4x – 5. Which step would be an appropriate first step for Lizzy to take to solve f

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

distribute parenthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

6(2x + 1) = 4x - 5 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

12x + 6 = 4x - 5 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

8x + 6 = - 5 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

8x = - 11 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = - $\frac{11}{8}$
