Question

4(-2x+9)=-2(3x-7)

Answer 1

solve the linear equation

Answer 2

Okay girly start by using the Distributive property. Are you aware of this?

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

4(-2x+9)=-2(3x-7)
-8x + 36 = -6x + 14

This is the Distributive property. You need to multiply everything outside of the parenthesis by everything inside.

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

Now we need to isolate the variables. To do that, I first moved them onto the same side.
-8x + 36 = -6x + 14
22 = 2x
11 = x
So x = 11 .... is that the answer you are looking for?

Answer 7

You can check it by plugging 11 in for x in the original equation.

Answer 8

yes thank you
