solve 4(3-2x)=-44

Question

Plase answer my question.. i need help with that..

Answer 1

4(3 - 2x) = - 44

 

So now you can divide both sides of the equation by 4:

4/4(3 - 2x) = - 44/4

3 - 2x = - 11

 

And now you can subtract 3 from both sides of the equation:

3 - 2x - 3 = - 11 - 3

- 2x = - 14

 

Now you can divide both sides of the equation by  - 2  to find the value of 'x':

(- 2x)/(- 2) = (- 14)/(- 2)

x = 14/2

x = 7
