-3x + 6 = 4 (-2x - 5)
To solve the equation, we need to distribute the 4 on the right side of the equation:
-3x + 6 = 4(-2x) + 4(-5)
Next, simplify the equation:
-3x + 6 = -8x - 20
Now, let's isolate the x variable by adding 8x to both sides:
8x - 3x + 6 = -8x + 8x - 20
5x + 6 = -20
To isolate x, let's subtract 6 from both sides:
5x + 6 - 6 = -20 - 6
5x = -26
Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 5:
5x/5 = -26/5
x = -26/5
Therefore, the solution to the equation -3x + 6 = 4(-2x - 5) is x = -26/5.
