Question

Solve the equation 2x(2-6)=4(3+1x-2)​

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = - \frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Simplify 2 - 6 to -4.

$2x \times - 4 = 4(3 + 1 \times x - 2)$

2) Simplify 1 × x to x.

$2x \times - 4 = 4(3 + x - 2)$

3) Simplify 3 + x - 2 to x + 1.

$2x \times - 4 = 4(x + 1)$

4) Simplify 2x × -4 to -8x.

$- 8x = 4(x + 1)$

5) Divide both sides by 4.

$- 2x = x + 1$

6) Subtract x from both sides.

$- 2x - x = 1$

7) Simplify -2x - x to -3x.

$- 3x = 1$

8) Divide both sides by -3.

$x = - \frac{1}{3}$

Therefor, the answer is x = -1/3.

Answer 2

Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

if you distribute and simplify:

4x-12 = 12+4x-8

4x-12 = 4x+4

-12 ≠ 4
