solve for x.

Question

-4(2x - 11) = 12

Answer 1

-8x + 44 = 12

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

x = (-32)/(-8)
x = 4

Therefore, x = 4.

Answer 2

-3(-4x - 3) = -27

Answer 3

12x + 9 = -27

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

x = (-36)/12
x = -3

Therefore, x = -3.

Answer 4

2x - 3 = -27

Answer 5

Add 3 to both sides:

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

Divide by 2 on both sides:

x = -24/2
x = -12

Therefore, x = -12.

Answer 6

-4(3x + 10) - 2 = 54

Answer 7

-12x - 40 - 2 = 54

-12x - 42 = 54

Add 42 on both sides:

-12x = 54 + 42
-12x = 96

Divide by -12 on both sides:

x = 96/-12
x = -8

Therefore, x = -8.
