4(x-2)-3=9 I have to solve for X but I'm confused

Sagot :

you distribute the 4 to the x and the -2. So the left side of the equation would look like 4x-8-3=9. Add 3 to both sides to get 4x-8=12. Add 8 to both sides and get 4x=20. Divide both sides by 4 and x =5
First you have to get the parentheses gone, to do that you have to distribute the 4 to the stuff in the parentheses. The equation would then be 4x-8-3=9. Then you can put together the -8 and the -3, so now the equation is 4x-11=9. Next, you have to get the -11 on the other side, to do that you have to do the opposite of -11 to both sides. so 4x-11+11 = 9+11, which you can simplify to 4x = 20  Divide both sides by 4 and x = 5

ANSWER: x=5
