Distribute the '-3' into each term of the ' 2x-4 ' on the LHS, What do you get?

x=6?

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

Umm actually no.. I think you made an error with the 'sign' while calculating. One more try? :]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-6?

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

Nope nope.. Okay... -3(2x) - 3(-4) = 24 or, -6x + 12 = 24 Now can you work this further?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2?

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

Okay, yes, -2 is right-o! :]
