2(4x-6) = 4(3x-7) what is x

The value of x in this equation is -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

2(4x - 6) = 4(3x - 7)

Distribute 2 to (4x - 6) and distribute 4 to (3x - 7)

8x - 12 = 12x - 28

Subtract 12x form both sides of the equation.

-4x - 12 = -28

Add 12 to both sides of equation.

-4x = 16

Divide -4 on both sides of the equation.

x = -4

The value of x is -4.

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.
