6(-3x+8)=-3(5x +4) solve for x

6(-3x+8)=-3(5x +4)

Distributive property:

-18x + 48 =  -15x -12

Add 15x to both sides:

-3x + 48 = -12

Subtract 48 from both sides:

-3x = -60

Divide both sides by -3:

x = -60 / -3

x = 20

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
