Question

\(12\left(x-4\right)+6\left(x-2\right)-16\left(x+3\right)=7|-4|\)

Answer 1

12(x - 4) + 6(x - 2) - 16(x + 3) = 7|-4|

=> 12x - 48 + 6x - 12 - 16x - 48 = 7.4

=> -2x - 108 = 28

=> -2x = 28 + 108

=> -2x = 136

=> x = 136 : (-2)

=> x = -68

Answer 2

\(12\left(x-4\right)+6\left(x-2\right)-16\left(x+3\right)=7.|-4|\)

\(12x-48+6x-12-16x-48=7.4\)

\(\left(12x+6x-16x\right)+\left(-48-12-48\right)=28\)

\(2x-108=28\)

\(2x=28+108\)

\(2x=136\)

\(x=136\div2=68\)
