Distribute 2 to x and -2, and -6 to x and -2
2(x - 2) = 2x - 4
-6(x - 2) = -6x + 12
2x - 4 = 4x - 6x + 12
Simplify. Combine like terms
2x - 4 = (4x - 6x) + 12
2x - 4 = -2x + 12
Isolate the x. Add 4 to both sides, and 2x to both sides
2x (+2x) - 4 (+4) = -2x (+2x) + 12 (+4)
2x + 2x = 12 + 4
Simplify
4x = 16
Isolate the x. Divide 4 from both sides
4x/4 = 16/4
x = 16/4
x = 4
4 is your answer for x.

Answer:
Total number of 1 2/3 feet long pieces that will be cut=8 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be expressed as;
Total length of the board=length per piece×number of pieces
where;
Total length of board=14 1/4 feet
Length per piece=1 2/3 feet
Number of pieces=n
Replacing;
14 1/4=1 2/3×n
(57/4)=(5/3)n
n=(57/4)×(3/5)=8.55
Total number of 1 2/3 feet long pieces that will be cut=8 pieces
Four hundreds two tens and three ones
Answer:
n= 1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply both sides by 3 giving you 1.25
