Question

-2 (x - 8) + 4x= -12 what is X equals to ?

Answer 1

-2 (x - 8) + 4x= -12

mutiply the bracket by -2

(-2)(x)= -2x

(-2)(-8)= 16

-2x+16+4x= -12

-2x+4x+16= -12 ( combine like terms)

2x+16= -12

move 16 to the other side

sign changes from +16 to -16

2x+16-16= -12-16

2x= -12-16

2x= -28

divide both sides by 2

2x/2= -28/2

Answer: x= -14
