Question

Solve -4(2x - 1) = -6(x + 2) - 2 (1 point) A. -5B. 5C. 9D. -9

Answer 1

It is given that

`-4(2x-1)=-6(x+2)-2`

Now let's arrange all the x terms on one side and constant terms on the other.

`\begin{gathered} -4(2x-1)=-6(x+2)-2 \\ -8x+4=-6x-12-2 \\ -8x+6x=-14-4 \\ -2x=-18 \end{gathered}`

Now

`\begin{gathered} -2x=-18 \\ x=(-18)/(-2) \\ x=9 \end{gathered}`

So the correct answer is (C
