-4(2x - 3) + 6 = 18?

-4(2x - 3) + 6 = 18
-4(2x - 3) = 18 - 6 = 12
2x - 3 = -3
2x = 0
x = 0

- 8x + 12 + 6 = 18
- 8x = 0
x = 0

-4(2x - 3) + 6 = 18
-8x+12+6=18
-8x+18=18
-18 -18
-8x=0
x=0
check:
-4(2x0-3)+6=18
12+6=18
18=18

yup x=0

-4(2x - 3) + 6 = 18
-4*2x + 4*3 = 18
-8x + 12 + 6 = 18
-8x = 18 - 12 - 6
-8x = 6 - 6
-8x = 0
x = 0/-8
x = 0

-4(2x - 3) + 6 = 18?
-8x+12+6=18
(remember 2 negatives =a positive)
-8x+18=18
-18 -18
-8x=0
x=0

Distribute the -4

-8x+12+6=18 Add like terms
-8x+18=18 Subtract 18 from both sides
-8x=0 Divide by -8
x=0

Expanding the expression you will get

-4(2x-3) + 6 = 18

-8x + 12 + 6 = 18

-8x + 18 = 18

Subracting 18 from each side of the equation,

- 8x = 0

x = 0

Good luck!

-8x+12+6=18
-8x=18-12-6
-8x=0
x=-1/8
