Question

Solve for x, −2 (4x+4) −3x − 2 = 34 help needed, thanks!

Answer 1

Hey there!

The answer to your question is $-2 \frac{3}{11}$

$-2(4x+4) - 3x -2= 34$       Write the equation

$-8x - 8 - 3x - 2 = 34$           Distribute -2

$-11x-10 = 34$                      Combine like terms

$-11x = 24$                              Add 10 to both sides

$-2 \frac{3}{11}$                                         Divide both sides by -11

Hope it helps and have a great day!
