find x

Question

4(3x−2)=−24

Answer 1

To solve for x, we will start by distributing 4 to the terms inside the parentheses:

12x - 8 = -24

Next, we will add 8 to both sides of the equation to isolate the x term:

12x = -16

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 12 to solve for x:

x = -16/12

Simplifying the fraction:

x = -4/3
