The correct answer is X=-2.

First remove the parentheses and factor out 2.

1/2•(2-6x)-4(x+3/2)=-(x-3)+4 turns into
1/2•2(1-3x)-4(x+3/2)=-(x-3)+4.
Then distribute -4 through the parentheses,
1/2•2(1-3x)-4x-6=-(x-3)+4
Then change the sign of the x-3 to x+3,
1/2•2(1-3x)-4x-6=-x+3+4

Then reduce the numbers with the greatest common factor which is 2,
and remove unnecessary parentheses,
1-3x-4x-6=-x+7
Then calculate the differences and collect like terms,
-5-7x=-x+7

Then move the variable to the left side and change its sign, and move the constant to the right hand side and change its sign,
-7x+x=7+5
Then add and collect the like terms,
-6x=12
And finally divide both sides by -6 to get X=-2.

Whew lol

Answer: x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given expression</u>

(1/2) (2 - 6x) - 4 (x + 3/2) = - (x - 3) + 4

<u>Expand parentheses and apply the distributive property when there is a constant outside of the parentheses</u>

(1/2) · 2 - (1/2) · 6x - 4 · x - 4 · (3/2) = - x + 3 + 4

1 - 3x - 4x - 6 = -x + 3 + 4

<u>Combine like terms</u>

(1 - 6) - (3x + 4x) = -x + (3 + 4)

-5 - 7x = -x + 7

<u>Add x on both sides</u>

-5 - 7x + x = -x + 7 + x

-5 - 6x = 7

<u>Add 5 on both sides</u>

-5 - 6x + 5 = 7 + 5

-6x = 12

<u>Divide -6 on both sides</u>

-6x / -6 = 12 / -6

\boxed{x=-2}

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

infinite number of solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Work with the second equation.  Subtract 8x from both sides.

- 4y + 8x - 8x = -8x - 12                   Collect like terms.

-4y = - 8x - 12                                   Divide by - 4

-4y/-4 = - 8x/-4 - 12/-4

y = 2x + 3

That is exactly the same line as the first given.  There is an infinite number of solutions.

The answer is D) All the steps and the answer are correct. :)

You can just solve using the steps to see if they are right. For example, is -1x17=-17? Yes.
