Question

6-2(x+6)=3x+4 ...............................

Answer 1

Answer:

x=−2

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Expand.

6-2x-12=3x+4

6−2x−12=3x+4

2 Simplify  6-2x-126−2x−12  to  -2x-6−2x−6.

-2x-6=3x+4

−2x−6=3x+4

3 Add 2x2x to both sides.

-6=3x+4+2x

−6=3x+4+2x

4 Simplify  3x+4+2x3x+4+2x  to  5x+45x+4.

-6=5x+4

−6=5x+4

5 Subtract 44 from both sides.

-6-4=5x

−6−4=5x

6 Simplify  -6-4−6−4  to  -10−10.

-10=5x

−10=5x

7 Divide both sides by 55.

-\frac{10}{5}=x

−

  to  22.

-2=x

−2=x

9 Switch sides.

x=-2

x=−2
