Q. 1212. 4(6+2x)=0 4(6+2 x)=0 \newline1313. 3x+2x+6=15 3 x+2 x+6=-15
  1. Distribute and Simplify: First, let's solve the equation 4(6+2x)=04(6+2x)=0. Distribute the 44 into the parentheses: 4×6+4×2x=04\times 6 + 4\times 2x = 0. That gives us 24+8x=024 + 8x = 0.
  2. Isolate 8x8x: Now, subtract 2424 from both sides to isolate the 8x8x term: 8x=248x = -24.
  3. Solve for x: Next, divide both sides by 88 to solve for x: x=24/8x = -24 / 8. So, x=3x = -3.
  4. Combine Like Terms: Now let's solve the second equation: 3x+2x+6=153x + 2x + 6 = -15. Combine like terms: 5x+6=155x + 6 = -15.
  5. Isolate 5x5x: Subtract 66 from both sides to isolate the 5x5x term: 5x=1565x = -15 - 6.\newlineThat gives us 5x=215x = -21.
  6. Correct Division Mistake: Finally, divide both sides by 55 to solve for xx: x=215x = -\frac{21}{5}. So, x=4.2x = -4.2, but wait, that's not right, I made a mistake, it should be 21-21 divided by 55 is 4.2-4.2, not 4.1-4.1.
