What is the solution to the equation ? -4(2x+3) = 2x+6-(8x+2)

x=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(2x+3) = 2x+6-(8x+2)

The first step is to distribute the -4 and the -1

-4*2x+-4*3 = 2x+6 -8x-2

-8x-12 = 2x+6-8x-2

Combine like terms

-8x-12 = -6x+4

Add 8x to each side

-8x+8x-12 = 8x-6x+4

-12 = 2x+4

Subtract 4 from each side

-12-4 = 2x+4-4

-16 = 2x

Divide by 2

-16/2 = 2x/2

-8=x

there are infinitely many solutions.

6 adults and 9 children went.

a + c = 15

12a + 9c = 153

12(6) + 9(9) = 153

72 + 81 = 153
