Question

solve for x 4(x+16)=-4(x-24)

Answer 1

@XxdeadshotxX 4 (x + 16) = -4(x - 24)
4x + 64 = -4x + 96
4x + 64 + 4x = -4x + 96 + 4x
8x + 64 = 96
8x + 64 - 64 = 96 - 64
8x = 32
8x/8 = 32/8
x = 4

Answer 4

I double checked it and it's all good.

Answer 5

@XxdeadshotxX 4 (x + 16) = -4(x - 24)
simplify both sides of the equation
4x + 64 = -4x + 96
add 4x to both sides
4x + 64 + 4x = -4x + 96 + 4x
8x + 64 = 96
subtract 64 from both sides
8x + 64 - 64 = 96 - 64
8x = 32
divide both sides by 8
8x/8 = 32/8
and you get x = 4
better? lol
