How do you solve

4 (6-x) = 52

X=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem has to do with distributing, so you would multiply the 4 by the 6 and the 4 by the (-) x. Once you did that you would have 24-4x=52. You would then get rid of the constant, so you would subtract 24 from both sides. Once you did that you would have - 4x=28. You would then try to get x by itself, so you would divide each side by - 4, which gives you your answer: x=-7

x=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

4 (6-x) = 52

Distribute the 4

4*6 - 4x = 52

24 - 4x = 52

Subtract 24 from each side

24-24 - 4x = 52-24

-4x = 28

Divide by - 4

-4x/-4 = 28/-4

x = - 7
