Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Subtract 4 from both sides.

Step-by-step 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.
