Question

Solve -4(2x - 1) = -6(x + 2) - 2 (1 point) A. -5B. 5C. 9D. -9

Answer 1

It is given that

$-4(2x-1)=-6(x+2)-2$

Now let's arrange all the x terms on one side and constant terms on the other.

$\begin{gathered} -4(2x-1)=-6(x+2)-2 \\ -8x+4=-6x-12-2 \\ -8x+6x=-14-4 \\ -2x=-18 \end{gathered}$

Now

$\begin{gathered} -2x=-18 \\ x=\frac{-18}{-2} \\ x=9 \end{gathered}$

So the correct answer is (C
