A friend of mine is helping here kid with her math homework and doesn't know how to do it. She needs to find what x equals. And an explanation to how its done so she can explain it to her kid.

This is the equation

(-3)(2x+4)=5(x-3)

Thaks for the help 8)

(-3)(2x+4)=5(x-3)

-6x - 12 = 5x - 15

-11x = -3

hope no more explanation is needed.

Got the same answer
x=-3

(-3)(2x+4) = 5(x-3)
-6x-12 = 5x - 15 (Multify and remove brackets)
-6x-5x = -15 +12 (Transfer of sides of like factors changes sign)
-11x = -3
x = 3 / 11 (Transfer of number and multiplication by -1)
