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

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

x = - \frac{1}{2}

Decimal Notation

x = - 0.5

Solution steps

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

Expand

- 2 (3 x - 4) : - 6 x + 8

Expand

2 (x + 6) : 2 x + 12

- 6 x + 8 = 2 x + 12

Move

8

to the right side

- 6 x = 2 x + 4

Move

2 x

to the left side

- 8 x = 4

Divide both sides by

- 8

x = - \frac{1}{2}

2 \frac{1}{3} x - \frac{7}{2} x = 3 \frac{1}{5} x - \frac{14}{3} x - 9

5 x + 8 = 7 x - 72

3 (x - 4) 2 = 75

x, y = - 3 x - 84 x - 3 y + 15

x, \frac{2}{7} x + 5 y = 15
