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

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

Solve for x

$$x=-11$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

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

Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x-4.

$$6x+6=4x-16$$

Subtract 4x from both sides.

$$6x+6-4x=-16$$

Combine 6x and -4x to get 2x.

$$2x+6=-16$$

Subtract 6 from both sides.

$$2x=-16-6$$

Subtract 6 from -16 to get -22.

$$2x=-22$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$x=\frac{-22}{2}$$

Divide -22 by 2 to get -11.

$$x=-11$$
