Question

Solve the following
2(x+3)=x-4

Answer 1

-10

Explanation:

2(x+3)=x-4

2x+6=x-4

2x-x=(-4)-6

x=-10

Hence the answer is -10

Answer 2

x = - 10

Explanation:

2(x + 3) = x - 4 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

2x + 6 = x - 4 ( subtract x from both sides )

x + 6 = - 4 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

x = - 10
