Question

Solve the equation. -2(4 + 3x) = 3(x - 2)

Answer 1

Answer:

x = - 2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the equation.

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

-8 - 6x = 3x - 6

-8 + 6 = 3x + 6x

-2 = 9x

x = - 2/9

Answer 2

Answer:

-2\9

OR

-0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

−2(4+3x)=3(x−2)

Use the distributive property to multiply −2 by 4+3x.

-

−8−6x=3(x−2)

Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x−2.

-

−8−6x=3x−6

Subtract 3x from both sides.

−8−6x−3x=−6

-

Combine −6x and −3x to get −9x.

−8−9x=−6

Add 8 to both sides.

−9x=−6+8

-

Add −6 and 8 to get 2.

−9x=2

Divide both sides by −9.

x = 2\-9

Fraction 2\-9  can be rewritten as -2\9 by extracting the negative sign.

SO..

ANSWER IS = -2\9
