Question

I'm having trouble with order of operations.
Solve each the following equation for x:
2x=-2[5-2(2x-12)]

Answer 1

alright here we go...

Answer 2

lmao
it's probably something simply i'm missing

Answer 3

i got half off on a test for missing order of operations...

Answer 4

i distributed the -2 to the 2x and -12 first...

Answer 5

i got 2x=-10-4x+24 first. which i guess is wrong. lol

Answer 6

2x=-2[5-2(2x-12)]
2x=-2[5-4x+24]
2x=-2(-4x+29)
2x=8x-58
58=6x
x=58/6
