Question

Can someone please teach me how to solve this? Solve the equation 4(-2x+1)=6-(2x-4)

Answer 1

Just distribute, it will help a lot

Ex: 4(-2x+1) = -8x+4

can you do the other for me?

Answer 2

@tryhardhomework

Answer 3

6-2x+4 right? It's probably wrong because that's what I've been doing

Answer 4

strange... you would think that s how it would distributed

Answer 5

Found the problem. I've been using negative 4 on the opposite site of the equation. Thank you though. I appreciate it.

Answer 6

oh glad you figured it out :) what was your mistake again so i can learn from it? :)

Answer 7

Well I coppied the equation from my book into here, but then I realized that I wrote down 4(-2x-4) instead of 4(-2x+1). I just had a minor brain lapse is all. Not sure if there's much to learn from that. :)

Answer 8

ah okay thanks :) minor brain lapses seem to be common for me too

Answer 16

oops sorry dude............its simple
4(-2x+1)=6-(2x-4) this is our question
first of all we will multiply it
4*(-2x)+4*1 = 6-2x+4
-8x+4=-2x+10
now we will take like terms together
i.e
-8x+2x=10-4
-6x=-6 minus get cut
6x=6
x=1


hope u get it

Answer 17
