Question

Solve for x using
cross multiplication.
2x + 2 = x-4
11
6
x = [?]
Enter

Answer 1

you would cross multiply meaning 6(2x+2)=11(x-4) Then you distribute 6 so it would be 12x+12=11x-44 then you have to move the constant and the variable so 12x-11x= -44-12 so then the answer would be x = -56
