Question 1

Solve for x: 2 (x-4) - 3 (2x+2) = 2 (x+11)

Submit

2 (x-4) - 3 (2x+2) = 2 (x+11)

2x-8-6x-6=2x+22

-4x-14=2x+22

-6x=36

x=-6

x = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (x-4) - 3 (2x+2) = 2 (x+11)

multiply numbers in parenthesis by 2 and multiply numbers in parenthesis by - 3 and multiply parenthesis by 2.

2x-8-6x-6=2x+22

subtract 2x to 2x

-8-6x-6=22

subtract - 8 to - 6 but since there both negatives the equation is addition.

-14-6x=22

move constant to the right and change - 14 as a positive.

-6x=22+14

add 22 to 14

-6x=36

divide both sides by - 6

x = - 6
