QUESTION: −4(x + 10) − 6 = −3(x − 2)

−40

−46

−52

52

Answer 1

solve for x i assume

Answer 2

\[-4(x + 10) - 6 = -3(x-2)\] 1st i distribute the -4 into its parenthesis and the -3 into its parenthesis and get
\[-4x -40 -6 = -3x + 6\]

Answer 3

then college like terms
\[-4x - 46 = -3x + 6\]
but we also need just a single positive x on one side so we can add 4 x to each side
getting us
\[-46 = x + 6\]
then add 6 to each side and we have
x = -40
