Find the roots

Find the roots of the algebra expression

x = - \frac{17}{12}

Alternative Form

x = - 1.41 \dot{6}

Evaluate

- 2 - 12 (- 2 x - 3)

To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0

- 2 - 12 (- 2 x - 3) = 0

Expand the expression

More Steps

Calculate

- 12 (- 2 x - 3)

Apply the distributive property

- 12 (- 2 x) - (- 12 \times 3)

Multiply the numbers

24 x - (- 12 \times 3)

Multiply the numbers

24 x - (- 36)

If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses

24 x + 36

- 2 + 24 x + 36

Add the numbers

34 + 24 x

34 + 24 x = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

24 x = 0 - 34

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

24 x = - 34

Divide both sides

\frac{24 x}{24} = \frac{- 34}{24}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 34}{24}

Solution

More Steps

Evaluate

\frac{- 34}{24}

Cancel out the common factor 2

\frac{- 17}{12}

Use \frac{- a}{b} = \frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b} to rewrite the fraction

- \frac{17}{12}

x = - \frac{17}{12}
