The value of x in the equations are:
1. x = -3/5
2. x = -1
3. x = 5
How to Solve an Equation?
Given the equations above, to solve for x, isolate x as the variable in the equation to one side of the equation.
a. 4(5x+6) = 12
Apply the distributive property
20x + 24 = 12
20x = 12 - 24
20x = -12
x = -12/20
x = -3/5
b. -3(2x - 4) = 18
Apply the distributive property
-6x + 12 = 18
-6x + 12 - 12 = 18 - 12
-6x = 6
x = 6/-6
x = -1
c. 26 = 2(3x - 2)
Apply the distributive property
26 = 6x - 4
26 + 4 = 6x
30 = 6x
5 = x
x = 5
