Question

11 What is the solution to the equation 3(x - 4) = 2(x - 6)?

Answer 1

Start by distributing through the parentheses on

each side of the equation to get 3x - 12 = 2x - 12.

Now move your x's to the left by subtracting

2x from both sides to get x - 12 = - 12.

Now move your numbers to the right by

adding 12 to both sides to get x = 0.

So, the solution to this equation is x = 0.
