6x - 2(x + 4) = 12    use distributive property

6x + (-2)(x) + (-2)(4) = 12

6x - 2x - 8 = 12      add 8 to both sides

4x = 20     divide both sides by 4

x = 5

To solve for x, we will begin by using the distributive property

6x - 2(x + 4) = 12

6x - 2x - 8 = 12

(always remember to sort your negatives!)

Add like terms 

4x - 8 = 12

Add 8 to both sides

4x = 20

Divide both sides by 4

x = 5

What is the solution(s) to the equation 5a2 - 44 = 81?
taurus [48]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

5a^2 - 44 = 81                     Add 44 to both sides

5a^2 = 81 + 44                    Collect like terms

5a^2 = 125                          Divide both sides by 5

a^2 = 125/5                  

a^2 = 25                              Take the square root of both sides

√a^2 = √25

a = +5

a = -5

The answer is B
