Brandon is shown two expressions, 2(4x+3) and 12x−2. Brandon claims that the expressions are equivalent because when x=2 both expressions are equal to 22.

To show that Brandon's claim is false, evaluate each expression when x=3.

Enter the value of 2(4x+3) when x=3.

Enter the value of 12x−2 when x=3.

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

−3
