Find "x"

-2x-4=20+6x

5x-8+3=2x+3x-5

x/4=9

2 (5x-1) = 3x+5

8-2 (3x-4) + 2x=5 (x+6) + 4

1. - 2x-4=20+6x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

-2x-4=20+6x

-2x+-4=20+6x

-2x-4=6x+20

Step 2: Subtract 6x from both sides.

-2x-4-6x=6x+20-6x

-8x-4=20

Step 3: Add 4 to both sides.

-8x-4+4=20+4

-8x=24

Step 4: Divide both sides by - 8.

-8x/-8=24/-8

x=-3

Answer:

x=-3

3. (x/4) * (4) = (9) * (4)

x=36

Answer:

x=36

4.

2 (5x-1) = 3x+5

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2 (5x-1) = 3x+5

(2) (5x) + (2) (-1) = 3x+5 (Distribute)

10x+-2=3x+5

10x-2=3x+5

Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.

10x-2-3x=3x+5-3x

7x-2=5

Step 3: Add 2 to both sides.

7x-2+2=5+2

7x=7

Step 4: Divide both sides by 7.

7x/7=7/7

x=1

Answer:

x=1

5.

8-2 (3x-4) + 2x=5 (x+6) + 4

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

8-2 (3x-4) + 2x=5 (x+6) + 4

8 + (-2) (3x) + (-2) (-4) + 2x = (5) (x) + (5) (6) + 4 (Distribute)

8+-6x+8+2x=5x+30+4

(-6x+2x) + (8+8) = (5x) + (30+4) (Combine Like Terms)

-4x+16=5x+34

-4x+16=5x+34

Step 2: Subtract 5x from both sides.

-4x+16-5x=5x+34-5x

-9x+16=34

Step 3: Subtract 16 from both sides.

-9x+16-16=34-16

-9x=18

Step 4: Divide both sides by - 9.

-9x/-9=18/-9

x=-2

Answer:

x=-2
