Question

Solve -2(x - 1) = 16

Answer 1

use distributive property with -2(x-1)

-(2)(x) -(2)(-1) = 16

Simplify

-2x +2 = 16

subtract -2 fromboth sides to keep the x'son one side and your constants on the other

-2x +2 - 2 = 16 - 2

Simplify

-2x = 14

divide both sides by -2

-2x/-2 = 14/-2

Simplify again

x = -7
