-24=2(x-4) What's X?

2 answers:

8 0

Your going to be using the distributive property for this question.
So after you have distributed the 2 to the X and the -4 , you are left with 2x-8=-24
Next, add the 8 to the -24
So your left with 2x=16
Lastly, divide 16/2

Your answer should be x=8
Hope this helped!

How do I solve equations with a variable to the power of something (give steps please)

lozanna [386]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Factoring will reveal the solution. So we divide the equation by the greatest common factor of the terms and use that factor as the coefficient. In this case the greatest common factor is just x.

2x^2+5x

x(2x+5) so the equation will equal zero when either of those expressions is zero because zero times anything is zero. x=0 and x=-5/2

Answer:

x = -24

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x + 7) = 2x - 3

3 * x = 3x

3 * 7 = 21

3x + 21 = 2x - 3

-21 -21

3x = 2x -24

-2x -2x

x = -24
