Solve for x

2 (x - 1) = - 4x + 46

A. 8 B. 11 C. 12 D. 9

A. 8

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (x-1) = -4x+46

(2) (x) + (2) (-1) = -4x+46 (Distribute)

2x+-2=-4x+46

2x-2=-4x+46

Step 2: Add 4x to both sides.

2x-2+4x=-4x+46+4x

6x-2=46

Step 3: Add 2 to both sides.

6x-2+2=46+2

6x=48

Step 4: Divide both sides by 6.

6x

6

=

48

6

x=8
