Question

Solve for x: 4(x + 2) = 3(x − 2)

−2
−4
−10
−14

Answer 1

Answer:

-14

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply into each parenthesis

4x+8=3x-6

-8 from both sides

4x=3x-14

subtract 3x from both sides

x=-14

Answer 2

Answer:

D) -14

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x + 2) = 3(x − 2)     Distribute

  4x + 8 = 3x - 6          Subtract 3x on both sides

    x + 8 = -6                   Subtract 8 on both sides

          x = -14
