Question

6x - 4(2x + 8) = 16
distribute then solve for x

Answer 1

x = 8

Answer 2

\[\huge{6x-4(2x+8)}\]
again break down this equation into :

6x and -4(2x+8)

solve for
\(\huge{-4(2x+8)=-4(2x)-4(8)=-8x-32}\)

Answer 3

now add 6x what you get ?

\[\huge{-8x-32+6x=-2x-32}\]

Now equate this as 16

\[\huge{-2x-32=16}\]
\[\huge{-2x=16+32}\]
\[\huge{-2x=48}\]
\[\huge{x=-24}\]
