Question

4x = 12x + 32 ? plz help me

Answer 1

Steps:

1) We have to keep the
`x`'s on one side. For simplification can only occur between
`x` with each other.

2) We have to keep the number on other side. Be careful that you do not simplify it with the
`x`.

Simply, group the like terms and simplify.

Methods:


`4x=12x+32`

=>
`4x-12x=12x-12x+32`

=>
`-8x = 0+32`

=>
`-8x=32`

=>
`(-8x)/(-8) = -(32)/(8)`

=>
`x=-4`

or, (do side changing)


`4x=12x+32`

=>
`4x-12x=32`

=>
`-8x=32`

=>
`x= (32)/(-8)`

=>
`x=-4`

HOPE THAT HELPS YOU!! :-)))

Answer 2

We need to put all the xs on one side. We can always move an expression to the other side if we change the sign:

4x-12x=32

now we add up:

-8x=32

divide by 8:

-x=4

multiply by -1:

x=-4, which is the solution
