Drew Abbott · Answer 1

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute 3 into the parenthesis:

3 (4 - 2x) = - 2x

12 - 6x = - 2x

Next, combine your x variables by adding + 6x to both side:

12 - 6x = - 2x (-6x and + 6x cancel out)

+6x + 6x

12 = 4x (divide 12 by 4 to get x by itself)

/4 / 4

x = 3
