  1. Foil -5(x - 4): [tex] 3x-5x+20=-6 [/tex]
  2. Combine like terms: [tex] -2x+20=-6 [/tex]
  3. Subtract 20 on both sides: [tex] -2x=-26 [/tex]
  4. Lastly, divide both sides by 2, and your answer will be [tex] x=13 [/tex]

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

  • Distribute 5 inside the parentheses.

3x - 5x + 20 = -6

  • Combine like terms.

-2x + 20 = -6

  • Subtract 20 from both sides.

-2x = -26

  • Divide both sides by -2.

x = 13

  • is your answer.
