What is the answer and steps to this equation - 3 (3+x) + 4 (x-6) = -4

x = 29

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Distribute - 3 by the first set of parentheses and distribute 4 by the second set of parentheses.

-9 - 3x + 4x - 24 = - 4

Collect like terms on the left side.

x - 33 = - 4

Add 33 to both sides.

x = 29
