What is the value of x in the equation 3(2x + 4) = −6? −3 1 12 19

OpenStudy (mattyboyy):

distribute 3x2 and 3x4 and you equation should be 6x + 12 = -6

OpenStudy (mattyboyy):

then subtract12 from each side

OpenStudy (mattyboyy):

so the equation then would be 6x = -18

OpenStudy (mattyboyy):

then

OpenStudy (mattyboyy):

divide 6 on each side

OpenStudy (mattyboyy):

-18/6 = -3
