Question

Solve -3(2x - 4) = 24 if anyone could teach me the process to solve this

Answer 1

distribute

Answer 2

ok, first, use the distributive property to distribute the -3

Answer 3

so its -3 * 2x then -3 * -4

Answer 4

alright

Answer 5

so -6x + 12 = 24

Answer 6

-6x = 12 24- 12 = 12

Answer 7

divide both sides by -6 and x = ?

Answer 8

12/-6 = ?

Answer 9

-2

Answer 10

-2

Answer 11

my bad a bit lat eon the response but thank you!

Answer 12

-3(2x - 4) = 24
1st Distributive property so, -3(2x) -3(-4) = 24
substract 12 from each side -6x + 12 = 24
combine like terms -6x +12 - 12 = 24 -12
divide both side by -6 -6x = 12
-6x/ -6 = 12/-6
x = -2
