Question

Solve the equation: 3(x + 4) = 2(x - 6) x = -24x = -28x = -68x = -72

Answer 1

hello

the equation given is

$3(x+4)=2(x-6)$

step 1

multiply the coeffiecients with the brackets and the proceed to simplfy

$\begin{gathered} 3(x+4)=2(x-6) \\ 3x+12=2x-12 \end{gathered}$

step 2

collect like terms

$\begin{gathered} 3x-2x=-12-12 \\ x=-24 \end{gathered}$

the value of x = -24
