Question

Solve the equation.
--4x + 4(2x - 6) = -15 - 5x
B) x = 1 
C) x = - 1 
D) x = 39

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

-4x + 4(2x - 6) = -15 - 5x

-4x + 8x - 24 = -15 - 5x  (Distributed the 4)

4x - 24 = -15 - 5x  (Combined like terms)

9x = 9  (Added 5x and 24 to both sides)

x = 1  (Divided both sides by 9)

Therefore, the solution is x = 1. Choice B is the correct answer. -4x + 4(2x - 6) = -15 - 5x

-4x + 8x - 24 = -15 - 5x

4x - 24 = -15 - 5x

9x = 9

x = 1
