Question

Solve −4(x + 10) − 6 = −3(x − 2).

A. −40
B. −46
C. −52
D. 52

Answer 1

−4(x + 10) − 6 = −3(x − 2)
-4x-46=-3x+6
-x=52
x=-52

Thus, C would be the answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -52

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(x+10)-6=-3(x-2)

                                 Distribute -4  on the left side and -3 on the right side

-4x-40-6=-3x+6

                                Combine Like terms

-4x-46=-3x+6

                               Add 46 both sides

-4x=-3x+52

                              Add 3x to both sides

-1x=52

                             Divide by -1

x=-52

Hope this helps!!!! :)
