Question

How do you solve `-4( 3- x ) + 6= 2( x - 3)`?

Answer 1

`x = 0`

Explanation:

Remove the brackets first, use the distributive law.

`color(red)(-4)(3-x)+6 = color(blue)(2)(x-3)`

`-12+4x +6 =2x-6`

`color(white)(xxxx)4x-2x = -6-6+12`

`color(white)(xxxxxxxx)2x = 0`

`color(white)(xxxx.xxxx)x = 0`
