Question

Solve. One point for showing the steps to solve each equation and one point for the correct solution.
4(x - 6) = -2(x - 3)

Answer 1

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

divide 2 on both sides.

2(x-6) = -1 (x-3)

2x - 12 = -x + 3

2x + x = 12 + 3

3x = 15

x = 15/3

x = 5

Answer 2

use the distributive property. a(b+c)=ab +ac
