what is does x equal 6(x+4)-2x=-8?

Answer 1

6(x+4)-2x=-8
6x+24-2x=-8
6x-2x+24+8=0
4x+32=0
4x=-32
x=-32/4
x=-8

Answer 2

X= -8 What you do first is use the distributive property and turn
6(x+4) into 6x +24, so the problem is now 6x+ 24 - 2x = -8.
6x - 2x = 4x, so the problem now is 4x + 24 = -8. Now you subtract 24 from both sides. The problem is now 4x = -32. Divide both sidesd by 4, and we've got x = - 8

Answer 3

6(x + 4) - 2x = -8
6x + 24 - 2x = -8
4x + 24 = -8 (Subtract 24 from both sides)
4x = -32 (Divide both sides by 4)
x = -8

Check:
6((-8) + 4) - 2(-8) = -8
6(-4) + 16 = -8
-24 + 16 = -8
-8 = -8
QED

Answer 4

Distributive property:
6x+24-2x=-8

Combine like terms:
4x+24=-8

Subtract 24 from both sides:
4x=-32
x=-8

Check:
6(-8+4)-2(-8)=-8
6(-4)+16=-8
-24+16=-8
-8=-8

Answer 5

x = -8

6(x+4)-2x=-8
6x+24-2x=-8
4x+24=-8
4x=-32
x=-8

*multiply the 6 with the x and the 4.
*Combine like terms: 6x and -2x
*Get the x by itself by subtracting 24 from -8
*Divide -32 by 4 to solve for x. x=-8

Answer 6

6(x+4)-2x=-8
first distribute the "6 and (x + 4 )" ... you come up with the answer of 6x + 24 - 2x = -8...
subtract the common monomials which is " 6x and 2x" which is 4x... you come up filing up the matematical sentence,,,, 4x + 24 =-8...you subtract 24 from -8 ,,, you come up with 4x = -32
You simply solve the algebra and come up with x=-8
so 6(x + 4 )-2x = -8 the x is equal to -8....

Answer 7

6(x + 4) - 2x = -8

Distribute the "6" into the parenthesis by multiplying:

6x + 24 - 2x = -8

Group together like terms (subtract 24 from both sides):

6x - 2x = -8 - 24

Now just simplify:

4x = -32

x = -8

Answer 8

x=-8

Answer 9

x= -4

Answer 10

-8

Answer 11

6x+24-2x=-8
4x+24=-8
adding 8
4x+32=0
adding -32
4x=-32
dividing by 4
x=-8
