Question

Solve for X.

-4(2x + 9) + 3x =6-4(x-3)
​

Answer 1

x = - 54

Explanation:

- 4(2x + 9) + 3x = 6 - 4(x - 3) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides and simplify

- 8x - 36 + 3x = 6 - 4x + 12

- 5x - 36 = - 4x + 18 ( add 4x to both sides )

- x - 36 = 18 ( add 36 to both sides )

- x = 54 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = - 54
