    Answer: 1 solution: x = - 20

    Solve for x.

    -6 (x + 7) = - 4x - 2 Distributive Property

    -6x - 42 = - 4x - 2 Add 4x to both sides

    -2x - 42 = - 2 Add 42 to both sides

    -2x = 40 Divide by - 2 to both sides

    x = - 20 Answer!

    Remember:

    1. If it ends in a true statement such as 6 = 6, then x can be all real numbers.

    2. If it ends in a false statement such as 7 = 6, then there is no solution.
