Question

3(4-2x)=-2x will make brainiest to the first two people that answer correctly with explanation

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute 3 into the parenthesis:

3(4 - 2x) = -2x

12 - 6x = -2x

Next, combine your x variables by adding +6x to both side:

12 - 6x = -2x           (-6x and +6x cancel out)

   +6x    +6x

12 = 4x                     (divide 12 by 4 to get x by itself)

/4     /4

x = 3
