how do I solve and graph this?

Question

solve the equation by graphing.

Check your solution.

−6(x + 4) = −3x − 6

Answer 1

-6x-24=-3x-6

3x= -18

x =-6

graph y=-6x-24 and y=-3x-6

the two lines intersect at (-6, 12)

the x coordinate of the intersection point is the solution you want

plug x=-6 into the original equation to check the answer

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

-6(-6+4)= -3(-6)-6

-6(-2) = 18-6

12 = 12 Voila. It checks.
