-4(2x-11)=12

x=?

5 answers

Expanding the expression on the left side of the equation, we get:

-4 * 2x - 4 * (-11) = 12
-8x + 44 = 12

Subtracting 44 from both sides, we obtain:

-8x = 12 - 44
-8x = -32

Dividing by -8, we get:

x = -32 / -8
x = 4

Therefore, the value of x is 4.
-3(-4x-3)=-27
x=?
Expanding the expression on the left side of the equation, we get:

-3 * -4x - 3 * -3 = -27
12x + 9 = -27

Subtracting 9 from both sides, we obtain:

12x = -27 - 9
12x = -36

Dividing by 12, we get:

x = -36 / 12
x = -3

Therefore, the value of x is -3.
2x-4x-3=-27
x=?
Combining like terms on the left side of the equation, we get:

-2x - 3 = -27

Adding 3 to both sides, we obtain:

-2x = -27 + 3
-2x = -24

Dividing by -2, we get:

x = -24 / -2
x = 12

Therefore, the value of x is 12.
