anonymous · Answer

expand the brackets first

anonymous · Answer

all that i know is that it would become 4x+24

anonymous · Answer

U have to start by expanding the brackets first ......
then u will have 
4X+24=6X-12
THEN WILL HAVE
2X=36
X=18

anonymous · Answer

yep that is correct, what about for the second bracket on the right hand side?

anonymous · Answer

@kristopher1014 You should expand the parenthesis on both sides

4(x+6) = 4x+24
6(x-2) = 6x-12

4x+24=6x-12
-4x+12 -4x+12
36=2x
18=x

anonymous · Answer

6x-12
