God bless justify each step of the solution by stating the property that was used to get to each step. given: 4(-6x – 3) + 24x = -72x + 132 step 1: -24x – 12 + 24x = -72x + 132 step 2: –12 = -72x + 132 step 3: -144 = -72x step 4: 2 = x

4(-6x – 3) + 24x = -72x + 132

Step 1  -24x – 12 + 24x = -72x + 132    Distribute Property of Equality

Step 2: –12 = -72x + 132    equivalent

Step 3: -144 = -72x    Subtraction Property of equality

Step 4: 2 = x   Equivalent / Division property of equality

if x = 1, then the answer is 3.5
