Question #6261a

Answer 1

The answer is c) - 52.

Explanation:

First, expand the terms in parenthesis:

`-4x - 40 - 6 = -3x + 6`

`-4x - 46 = -3x + 6`

Next move the terms for `x` onto one side of the equation and the constants onto the other side of the equation using the necessary mathematics while keeping the equation balanced:

`-4x - 46 + 4x - 6 = -3x + 6 + 4x - 6`

`-52 = x`
