Solve 2(x+3)=8*3(2-4)

$$2 ( x + 3 ) = 8 \cdot 3 ( 2 - 4 )$$

Solve for x

$$x=-27$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+3.

$$2x+6=8\times 3\left(2-4\right)$$

Multiply 8 and 3 to get 24.

$$2x+6=24\left(2-4\right)$$

Subtract 4 from 2 to get -2.

$$2x+6=24\left(-2\right)$$

Multiply 24 and -2 to get -48.

$$2x+6=-48$$

Subtract 6 from both sides.

$$2x=-48-6$$

Subtract 6 from -48 to get -54.

$$2x=-54$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$x=\frac{-54}{2}$$

Divide -54 by 2 to get -27.

$$x=-27$$
