Answer:
x=-12
Step-by-step explanation:
first collect all the like terms -28x + 24 = 120-20x
then move variables and constants to the correct side -28x + 20x = 120-24
collect like terms again -8x = 96
divide both side by -8 so -8x/-x n 96/-8 you get x=-12 bc -8 time -12 = 96
Answer:
x = -12
Step-by-step explanation:
First, combine like terms
[tex]-4x-24x+24 = 10(12-2x)\\-28x+24 = 10(12-2x)[/tex]
Then, use the distributive property on the right side
[tex]-28x + 24 = 120 - 20x[/tex]
Now, add 28x to both sides to get the Xs all together
[tex]24 = 120 + 8x[/tex]
Next, subtract 120 from both sides:
[tex]-96 = 8x[/tex]
divide both sides by 8:
[tex]-12 = x[/tex]
This means the answer is x = -12
