Question

4(2x+6) = -36 + 52 what is x

Answer 1

x = -1

Explanation:

In order to find x, we should solve the following equation :

`\sf{4(2x+6)=-36+52}`

`\sf{4(2x+6)=16}`

Next, distribute 4 by applying the distributive property:

`\sf{8x+24=16}`

Subtract 24 from both sides:

`\sf{8x=-8}`

Divide both sides by 8:

`\sf{x=-1}`

Answer 2

x = -1

Explanation:

Pre-Solving

We are given the following equation:
4(2x + 6) = -36 + 52

We want to find the value of x.

To do that, we need to isolate x on one side.

Solving

First, we can add -36 to 52 on the right side.

This is the same as subtracting 36 from 52.

We get:

4(2x + 6) = 16

Now, we can divide both sides by 4 to get rid of the 4 in front of the (2x + 6).

2x + 6 = 4

Next, subtract 6 from both sides.

2x = -2

Finally, divide both sides by 2.

x = -1
