Answer:
x=6
Step-by-step explanation:
2(3x+4)=5x+3x-4
combine all like terms and distribute
6x+8=8x-4
-8 -8
6x= 8x-12
-8x -8x
-2x= -12
x= 6
Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
For these kinds of expressions use FOIL (first, outside, inside, last).
-2x • 9x = -18x^2
-2x • -3y = 6xy
8y • 9x = 72 xy
8y • -3y = -24y^2
Now combine them all:
-18x^2 + 78xy - 24y^2
