Question

Solve 2(x + 3) = x - 4

Answer 1

Answer:

   2(x + 3) = x - 4

=> 2x + 6 = x - 4

=> 2x -x = -4 -6

=> x = - 10

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

first, expand the left side of the equation (distributive property):

2x + 6 = x - 4

then, subtract x and 6 on both sides to put like terms together:

2x - x = -4 - 6

combine like terms:

x = -10

done! hope this helps!
