Hey there!!
Given equation :
... -4 ( x + 10 ) - 6 = -3 ( x - 2 )
Using the distributive property :
... -4x - 40 - 6 = -3x + 6
Combining like terms :
... -4x - 46 = -3x + 6
Adding 46 on both sides :
... -4x = -3x + 52
Adding 3x on both sides :
... -x = 52
... x = -52
Hope helps!
To show that they used the same amount of ribbon you could take the 1 yard and divided into different sized equal groups.
1 yard divided by four equals 1/4 yard for each of four ribbons.
1 yard divided by six equals 1/6 yard for each of six ribbons.
You could have ribbons the size of 1/4 our yard and 1/6 yard, but you would have different amounts of each.
