Question

9x+4(2x-10)-12 will you show your work and the answer

Answer 1

9x+4(2x-10)-12 =
(multiply 4 with 2x and -10) 9x + 8x- 40-12 =
(add like terms) --> 9x+8x = 17x -40-12 =
(do the math) 17x-40-12 ---> -40 - 12 = -52 =
(divide 17 on both sides to get x alone) 17x - 52
----- ---- =x= -52/17 = -3.0588= -3.1
17 17

Answer 2

9x+4(2x-10)-12
9x + 8x - 40 - 12
9x + 8x = 17x
17x - 40 - 12
-40 - 12 = -52

Answer: 17x - 52
