Question

Thomas is doing a proof for solving the equation 6(2x-5)=-34

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

• 6(2x-5)=-34
• 12x-30=-34
• 12x=-34+30
• 12x=-4
• x=-4/12
• x=-0.333

Answer 2

Answer: x = -1 / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression

6 (2x - 5) = -34

Expand the parentheses and apply the distributive property

6 · 2x - 6 · 5 = -34

12x - 30 = -34

Add 30 on both sides

12x - 30 + 30 = -34 + 30

12x = -4

Divide 12 on both sides

12x / 12 = -4 / 12

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

Hope this helps!! :)
