I need some help please

Answer:
a) -10
b) 7
Step-by-step explanation:
a) [tex]2(x + 3) = x - 4[/tex]
[tex] = > 2x + 6 = x - 4[/tex]
[tex] = > 2x - x = - 4 - 6[/tex]
[tex] = > x = - 10[/tex]
b) [tex]4(5x - 2) = 2(9x + 3)[/tex]
[tex] = > 20x -8 = 18x + 6[/tex]
[tex] = > 20x - 18x = 8 + 6[/tex]
[tex] = > 2x = 14[/tex]
[tex] = > x = \frac{14}{2} = 7[/tex]
Answer:
a)-10 b)7
Step-by-step explanation:
a)2 ( x + 3 ) = x - 4
2x+6=x-4
2x+6-x=-4
x+6=-4
x=-4-6
x=-10
b)4 ( 5 x - 2 ) = 2 ( 9 x + 3 )
20x-8=2(9x+3)
20x-8=18x+6
20x-8-18x=6
2x-8=6
2x=6+8
2x=14
x=14/2
x=7
