Answer 2

Hey there!

DISTRIBUTE

3(–2x – 3) + 4x – 3 = 8

3(–2x) + 3(–3) + 4x – 3 = 8

COMBINE LIKE TERMS

–6x – 9 + 4x – 3 = 8

–2x – 12 = 8

ADD by 12 on BOTH SIDES

–2x – 12 + 12 = 8 + 12

CANCEL out: –12 + 12 because that gives 0

KEEP: 8 + 12 because it helps us solve for x

“8+ 12 = 20”

–2x = 20

DIVIDE by –2 on BOTH SIDES

–2x/–2 = 20/–2

CANCEL out: –2/–2 because that gives 1

KEEP: 20/–2 because that gives you x

“x = 20/–2”

Answer: x = –10 ☑️

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
