Answer:
Please see explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
-4(x+6) + 2(x-2) First, distribute the -4 to x+6
-4x - 24 + 2(x-2) Now distribute the 2 into x-2
-4x - 24 + 2x - 4 Combine like terms
-4x + 2x - 24 - 4
-2x - 28 This might be your answer but if you are looking for what x is equal to then keep following along.
If you are solving for x then most likely the equation says that it is equal to zero
-2x - 28 = 0 Add 28 to both sides
-2x = 28 divide both sides by -2
x = -14
