Can you help with this algebra problem?

Question

I tried to use the common denominator which is 2 I would think but it's not getting me to the right answer.

2(x-1) = -2x-4/-2

Answer 1

you can multiply everything by -2 to get rid of the fraction

Answer 2

2(x-1) = -2x-4/-2

2x-2     (distribue the 2)     =      -2x + 2    (-4 divided by -2 = positive 2)

  

+2x                                              +2x

4x-2 = 2



+2         +2

4x =4

x= 1

Answer 3

first, simplify

2x-2=(-2x-4)/-2

then, multiply both sides by -2

-4x+4=-2x-4

then simplify again add 4x

4=2x-4

simplify again, add 4

2x=8

divide by 2

x=4

Answer 4

2x-2 = -2x + 2

2x = -2x

x = 0

Answer 5

Holy c**p... I use to be a straight A student, you're screwed kid.

Answer 6

This site is awesome. She has to be one of the best teachers by far. Just click on the algebra section and she covers these same type of equations. I suppose it would be better to learn it than have the answer given to you, right?  : )
