find the value of x

2(-2x+2)-6=4
dont make me fail

1 answer

Let's solve the equation step by step:

Given:

\[ 2(-2x + 2) - 6 = 4 \]

First, distribute the 2 to the terms inside the parentheses:

\[ 2 \cdot -2x + 2 \cdot 2 - 6 = 4 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ -4x + 4 - 6 = 4 \]

Combine the constant terms (4 and -6):

\[ -4x - 2 = 4 \]

Next, add 2 to both sides of the equation:

\[ -4x - 2 + 2 = 4 + 2 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ -4x = 6 \]

Divide both sides by -4 to solve for \( x \):

\[ x = \frac{6}{-4} \]

Simplifying the fraction gives:

\[ x = -\frac{3}{2} \]

So, the value of \( x \) is:

\[ x = -\frac{3}{2} \]
