Step-by-step solution for: SOLUTION: Distributive property - Studypool
The task involves solving a series of algebraic equations. Below, I will solve each equation step by step and provide the solution.
---
\[ 4x + 6 = 2 \]
1. Subtract 6 from both sides:
\[
4x + 6 - 6 = 2 - 6
\]
\[
4x = -4
\]
2. Divide both sides by 4:
\[
\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{-4}{4}
\]
\[
x = -1
\]
Solution:
\[
\boxed{x = -1}
\]
---
\[ 3x - 7 = 8 \]
1. Add 7 to both sides:
\[
3x - 7 + 7 = 8 + 7
\]
\[
3x = 15
\]
2. Divide both sides by 3:
\[
\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{15}{3}
\]
\[
x = 5
\]
Solution:
\[
\boxed{x = 5}
\]
---
\[ 1 - 2x = -3 \]
1. Subtract 1 from both sides:
\[
1 - 2x - 1 = -3 - 1
\]
\[
-2x = -4
\]
2. Divide both sides by -2:
\[
\frac{-2x}{-2} = \frac{-4}{-2}
\]
\[
x = 2
\]
Solution:
\[
\boxed{x = 2}
\]
---
\[ 4 - 3(2 - x) = 5 \]
1. Distribute the -3 inside the parentheses:
\[
4 - 3 \cdot 2 + 3 \cdot x = 5
\]
\[
4 - 6 + 3x = 5
\]
2. Simplify the left side:
\[
-2 + 3x = 5
\]
3. Add 2 to both sides:
\[
-2 + 3x + 2 = 5 + 2
\]
\[
3x = 7
\]
4. Divide both sides by 3:
\[
\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{7}{3}
\]
\[
x = \frac{7}{3}
\]
Solution:
\[
\boxed{x = \frac{7}{3}}
\]

\]
2. Combine like terms:
\[
7x - 60 = 3
\]

\]
\[
7x = 63
\]
4. Divide both sides by 7:

\]
2. Add 5 to both sides:
\[
5x - 5 + 5 = 1 + 5
\]
\[
5x = 6
\]

\]
\[
2x - 4 - 12x + 3 = 9 - 9x
\]
2. Combine like terms on the left side:
\[
(2x - 12x) + (-4 + 3) = 9 - 9x
\]
\[
-10x - 1 = 9 - 9x
\]

\[
-10x + 9x - 1 = 9 - 9x + 9x
\]
\[
-x - 1 = 9
\]
4. Add 1 to both sides:
\[
-x - 1 + 1 = 9 + 1
\]
\[
-x = 10
\]
5. Multiply both sides by -1:
\[
x = -10
\]
Solution:
\[
\boxed{x = -10}
\]
---
\[ 2(x - 2) - 3(4x - 1) = 9(1 - x) \]
