Solve for x: 4(x + 2) = 3(x − 2)

x= -14

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive property to simplify.

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

Now, multiply.

4x+8 = 3x-6

Move the variable to one side, you do that by subtracting the smallest variable to both sides.

4x+8 = 3x-6

-3x       -3x

Subtract 8 to both sides.

x+8= -6

 -8    -8

x= -14

answer: bearing in mind that a rectangle has a perimeter of length + length + width + width.

step-by-step explanation:

p = perimeter

l = length

x=width

p = 2l + 2x

p = 2(l+x)     < ==== perimeter of the base of the box.
