Answer 1

You have to use distributive property here : a(b+c) =ab +ac

Can you expand 4(x-6) first?

Answer 2

no?

Answer 3

I can write : 4(x-6) as 4(x) - 4(6)

= 4x - 24

Similarly expand 6(x+2) now.

Answer 4

6x-12?

Answer 5

Why "-" there?

Answer 6

6(x) + 6(2) = 6x + 12

Answer 7

oo

Answer 8

Okay now you have :

4x - 24 + 4 = 6x + 12 -6

Answer 9

Can you just simplify it now?

Answer 10

4x-28=6x+6

Answer 11

Hmm no :(

What is -24 + 4?

Answer 12

oooo

Answer 13

-20

Answer 14

Yes :) ...

correct your expression.

Answer 15

You get : 4x - 20 = 6x + 6

Answer 16

Now solve for x.

Answer 17

idk how to;/

Answer 18

okay no problem. I will teach you :

You have : 4x - 20 = 6x + 6

Add 20 both sides

4x - 20 + 20 = 6x + 6 + 20

=> 4x = 6x + 26

right?

Answer 19

yes

Answer 20

Now subtract 6x both sides

4x - 6x = 6x - 6x + 26

What is 6x - 6x ?

Answer 21

0

Answer 22

And what is 4x - 6x?

Answer 23

-2

Answer 24

Oh again .... You should not cancel x there.

Answer 25

-2x

Answer 26

\(\bf{-2x}\) will be equal to 4x - 6x.

Answer 27

thats the answer?

Answer 28

Good you have now :

-2x = 26

Answer 29

Now divide both sides by -2

x = 26/-2 = -13

Answer 30

thats it

Answer 31

Yes :)
