Answer:
X=4
Step-by-step explanation:
28−(3x+4)=2(x+6)+x
28+−1(3x+4)=2(x+6)+x(Distribute the Negative Sign)
28+−1(3x)+(−1)(4)=2(x+6)+x
28+−3x+−4=2(x+6)+x
28+−3x+−4=(2)(x)+(2)(6)+x(Distribute)
28+−3x+−4=2x+12+x
(−3x)+(28+−4)=(2x+x)+(12)(Combine Like Terms)
−3x+24=3x+12
−3x+24=3x+12
Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.
−3x+24−3x=3x+12−3x
−6x+24=12
Step 3: Subtract 24 from both sides.
−6x+24−24=12−24
−6x=−12
Step 4: Divide both sides by -6.
−6x
−6
=
−12
−6
x=2
