Question

3(x - 2) + 4(2x - 6) = 6(x - 4) + 8(2x + 1)

Answer 1

You have to use distributive property....

LEts start with the left side.

3x - 6 + 8x - 24

then the right side.
8(2x + 1)
6x - 24 + 16x +8

so (3x -6) + (8x - 24) = (6x - 24) + (16x + 8)

Then simplify.

Add 3x and 8x from the left side. 11x. Then add -6 + (-24) = -30 so the left side should say 11x + (-30). The right side. 6x + 16x = 22x. Then add -24 + 8 = -16.
So the right side shows 22x + (-16).

Answer 2

so 11x + (-30) = 22x + (-16) Can you simplify this?

Answer 3

i got -14/11

Answer 4

Alrgiht what we have to do is add to both sides....
11x - 30 = 22x - 16
+30 + 30
---------------------
11x = 22x + 14 Then subtract 22 from 11.
----------------------
-11x = 14
