4 (x+4) = 2 (x+2)

Solve for x

Solve linear equations

Answers to choose from:

x = - 10

x = - 11

x = - 1

x = 14

I just worked this question. None of those are the answers

First we remove the brackets:

4x + 16 = 2x + 4

Group like terms:

4x - 2x = 4 - 16

Evaluate:

2x = - 12

x = - 12/2 = - 6
