Answer 2

Answer:

x=2  Choice A

Step-by-step explanation:

10 + 6(–9 – 4x) = 10(x – 12) + 8.

distribute

10 + 6*(-9 + 6* (-4x) = 10 *x - 10*12 +8

multiply

10 -54 -24x = 10x-120+8

combine like terms

-44 -24x = 10x -112

add 24x to each side

-44 -24x+24x = 10x+24x -112

-44 = 34x-112

add 112 to each side

68 = 34x

divide by 34 on each side

68/34 = 34x/34

2 =x
