Answer: 2=x
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x-4)=2(-2x+1) <- multiply number outside of parentheses by numbers inside parentheses
1)3x-12=-4x+2
2)-3x -3x <- subtract -3x
-12=-7x+2 <- what you should have after
3)-2 -2 <- subtract 2
-14=-7x <- what you should have after
4)/-7 /-7 <- divide by -7
2=x <- what you should have after
/= divide
remember: negative multiplied by a negative equals a positive, and a negative multiplied by a positive equals a negative.
