Question

Describe what is being done in eac step while solving the equation. 2(-3x + 4) = 5x + 2

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

-6-8=5x+2

0=5x+2+8+6

0=5x+16

x=-16÷5

Answer 2

Answer:

6/11

Step-by-step explanation:

First multiply 2 with the expression in the bracket i.e (-3x+4)

After multiplying we get the expression as : (-6x+8)

Now equate both the left hand side and the right hand side.

i.e -6x+8 = 5x+2

=> -6x-5x = 2-8

=> -11x = -6

=> x = -6/-11

Cancelling the negative signs up and down we get : x = 6/11
