Question

12 = −4(−6x − 3). What steps would you take to solve this for x? (distributive property?)

Answer 1

i wouldn't distribute, although you could

Answer 2

i would divide both sides by \(-4\) and start with \[-3=-6x-3\]

Answer 3

If I used distributive property, would it be:?
12 = −4(−6x − 3)
12 = -4 * -6x +-4 * -3
12 = 24x + 12
12 - 12 = 24x +12 -12
0 = 24x
0/24 = 24x/24
x = 24

Answer 4

I mean x = 0 lol

Answer 5

Yeah its still x=0 using both ways.
