Question

What is 4x+2=3(x-6)+8
Use addition property of equality. I need solution.

Answer 1

Distribute the 3 to get
4x + 2 = 3x-18+8  Then add like terms
4x + 2 = 3x - 10    Now move all x terms to one side by subtracting 3x from both sides
x + 2 = -10.  Solve by subtracting 2 from both sides
x = -12
