-7(x+2)+4x=6(2x-4)

Answer 1

-7(x+2)+4x= 6(2x-4)

-7x -14 +4x = 12x-24 Distribute the -7 and 6

+3x -3x -14 = 12x - 24 +3x Combine -7x and 4x

+24 -14 = 15x -24 +24 Add 3x to both sides

10=15x. +24 to both sides

10/15 = 15x/15

10/15 =x Divide by 15 on both sides

2/3 =x. Simplify fraction

Answer 2

-7(x+2) + 4x = 6(2x-4) Distribute to get

(-7x-14) + 4x = 12x - 24 Combine like terms to get

-3x - 14 = 12x -24 Add 3x to both sides to get

-14 = 15x - 24 Add 24 to both sides to get

10 = 15x Divide both sides to get

10/15 = x Simplify to

2/3 = x

Answer: x = 2/3
