Question

What is the solution to the equation Negative 4 (2 x + 3) = 2 x + 6 minus (8 x + 2)?
x = –10
x = –8
x = Negative five-halves
x = Negative StartFraction 4 Over 7 EndFraction

Answer 1

According to question....

- 4 ( 2x + 3 ) = 2x + 6 - ( 8x + 2 )

- 8x - 12 = 2x + 6 - 8x - 2

2x = - 12 - 6 + 2

x = - 16 / 2

x = - 8
