Multiply out brackets
-6x+12=24
Gather terms
-6x=24-12
-6x=12
Divide by -6
x=-2
You use the Distributive Property.
-3(2x-4)=24
multiply -3 to 2x and -4. Now you have -6x+12=24. minus 12 from both sides, you get -6x=12. Divide by -6 and you are left with an answer x= -2
- 3(2x - 4) = 24
- 6x + 12 = 24
- 6x = 12
x = - 2.
divide by -3
2x-4=-8
add 4
2x=-4
divide by 2
