Answer 11

i dont get what i did wrong

Answer 12

How did you get -4 on the right? we havent done anything to that.

When you distrbute, you multiply the number outside times the terms inside individually.
-4(-2x-3)=-9
-4*-2x=8x
-4*-3=12

8x+12=-9

Answer 13

Then subtract the 12 from both sides:

8x=-21

divide by 8

x=-21/8
