Question

check 3(2x − 3) = 4(2x + 4)

Answer 1

check

• 3(2x − 3) = 4(2x + 4)

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \bigstar$ Distributive property-

$\implies$ 3 × 2x - 3 × 3 = 4 × 2x + 4 × 4

$\implies$ 6x - 9 = 8x + 16

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \bigstar$Put like terms together

$\implies$ - 9 - 16 = 8x - 6x

$\implies$ - 25 = 2x

$\implies$ x = -25/2

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \large \boxed{\red{x \: = \: - 12.5}}$
