24(x+2)=6(x-4) equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
24*(x+2) = 6*(x-4)
Expand brackets in the left part
24*x+24*2 = 6*(x-4)
Expand brackets in the right part
24*x+24*2 = 6*x-6*4
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$24 x = 6 x - 72$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$18 x = -72$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 18
x = -72 / (18)
We get the answer: x = -4
