Question

Solve: 4(x − 1) − (x + 2) = 12

Answer 1

First step is distribution of the four into the (x-1)
Next step would be multiplying the terms in (x+2) by -1
then you combine like terms
Finally you add/subtract the number on the left with the one on the right
and then divide both sides (if needed) to get what x is equal to

Answer 2

x=6

Answer 3

distribute 4x -4 -x -2 = 12 x =6

Answer 4

combine like terms

Answer 5

distribute then combine like-terms. I got x=6 plug it on the equation and see if it's right or not. I hope that helped :)
