Answer 1

X equals 4

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = 4

Explanation:

2(12 – 8x) = x – 11x

First, combine the like terms on the right side of the equation:

2(12 – 8x) = –10x

Then, distribute the 2 to the terms inside the parentheses:

24 – 16x = –10x

Next, add 16x to both sides:

24 = 6x

Finally, divide both sides by 6:

4 = x
