Solve for x: 4 (x + 2) = 3 (x - 2)

1. - 2

2. - 4

3. - 10

4. - 14

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

Mutiply the first bracket by 4

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

Mutiply the second bracket by 3

(3) (x) (3) (-2) = 3x-6

4x+8 = 3x-6

Move 3x to the other side

Sign changes from + 3x to - 3x

4x-3x+8 = 3x-3x-6

4x-3x+8 = - 6

x+8 = - 6

Move + 8 to the other side

Sign changes from + 8 to - 8

x+8-8 = - 6-8

x = - 14

Answer: x = - 14

Your answer would be - 14
