Question

Solve the equation. Provide your answer as a simplified fraction or round to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

(-3/2)(4x + 2) + 2x = -30

x = _______ ?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{ - 3}{2} (4x + 2) + 2x = - 30 \\ \frac{ - 3 \times 4x}{2} + \frac{ - 3 \times 2}{2} + 2x = - 30 \\ - 6x + - 3 + 2x = - 30 \\ - 4x - 3 = -30 \\ - 4x = -27\\ x = \frac{-27}{ - 4} \\ = 6.75 = 7 \\ thank \: you$
