Question

How do you solve `28x - 16- 16x = 4( 3x - 5) + 4`?

Answer 1

Your answer is 40. Hope it helps

Explanation:

You need to open up the bracket `4*3x=12x`, and `4*5=20`, so your equation is `2x- 16 -16x =12x - 20 + 4`, to collect like terms it will be `28x -16x -12x =20 + 4 + 16`. Dealing with the `x` side of the equation will be `28x -16x` that is equal to `12x` then `12x -12x = 0`. Now to the second part `20 + 4 =24` and `24 +16 =40`
