Question

Can someone help me solve this please quick I’m really stuck! This is my last question

Answer 1

Subtract 4 from both sides.

Explanation:

So we have the equation:

`4-3(x+6)=28`

The very first step we should take is to subtract 4 from both sides. In fact, this is the only step we can take (without complicating things). So:

`(4-3(x+6))-4=(28)-4`

The left side cancels. Subtract on the right:

`-3(x+6)=24`

To solve, divide both sides by -3:

`x+6=-8`

Now, subtract 6 from both sides. So:

`x=-14`

The value of x would be -14.
