Question 660679: I need help solving fo x in the following two equations and proof. Thank you
-2x -18 = 6 (1-2x ) + 4x

4(3x + x) + 7 - 5x = 8 + (-5) (5x-6x) + 23

-2x -18 = 6 (1-2x ) + 4x
------
-2x-18 = 6-12x+4x
------
-2x - 18 = 6 - 8x
-----
6x = 24
x = 4
=======================
4(3x + x) + 7 - 5x = 8 + (-5) (5x-6x) + 23
4(4x) + 7 - 5x = 8-5(-x) + 23
----
16x + 7 -5x = 8 + 5x + 23
-------
11x + 7 = 5x + 31
6x = 24
-----
x = 4
===============
