SOLUTION: Hi
I tried this problem and got the answer x=7 but I see the answer as x=-7. Which one is right?
16-4x=-2(x-1)
Also I would think twenty four subtracted from 3 times a num

Question 978331: Hi
I tried this problem and got the answer x=7 but I see the answer as x=-7. Which one is right?
16-4x=-2(x-1)
Also I would think twenty four subtracted from 3 times a number is 12. Written like this 24-3x=12 but again I see the answer as 3x-24=12. Which one is right? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
For your first question, substitute each of the values for x in the equation and do the arithmetic. One of the values will give you a true statement, and the other will give you a false statement.
For the other one, if I subtract x from y, I get y - x
