Question

-2(x - 2)- 4x - 5 =29

Solve for x

Answer 1

Answer:

-2x+4-4x-5=29

-6x-1=29

-6x=29+1

-6x=30

x= -30/6

X=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

- 2 ( x - 2 ) - 4x - 5 = 29

- 2x + 4 - 4x - 5 = 29

- 2x - 4x + 4 - 5 = 29

Collect like terms

- 6x - 1 = 29

Add both sides 1

- 6x - 1 + 1 = 29 + 1

- 6x = 30

Divide both sides by - 6

- 6x ÷ ( - 6 ) = 30 ÷ ( - 6 )

x = - 5
