Question

What is the value of x?
6x -2(x +4) = 4

Answer 1

Hm, first you should add 2 to both sides
What do you get?

Answer 2

Don't you have to do the distributive property with -2 first though..?

6x -2x +2 =4

Answer 3

6x-2(x+4)=4

1. Distribute

6x-2x-8=4

2. Add common factors

4x-8=4

3. Subtract 8 on both sides

4x=-4

4. Divide by 4 on both sides
x=-1

Answer 4

Answer 7

Oops i distributed wrong :/ sorrrryy

Answer 8

But those were the right directions (; so i hoped that helped

Answer 9

He did something wrong though
Here, let me show you:

6x -2(x +4) = 4

Step 1:
You distribute from the parenthases
6x - 2x - 8 = 4

Step 2:
Add 8 to both sides
6x - 2x = 12

Step 3:
Combine Common factors
4x = 12

Step 4:
Divide both sides by 4
And x = 3 c:
