Method 2 : Solve using a Table
This method is derived from the rules of algebra tiles so the steps are similar.

Using a TableLet’s solve the equation: 5x – 3(x – 2) = -2x - 4EQUATION REASON
5x – 3(x – 2) = -2x – 4 Original Equation
5x – 3x + 6 = -2x – 4 Distributive Property
2x + 6 = -2x – 4 Combined like terms
4x + 6 = -4 (Flipped -2x)Added 2x to both sides
4x = -10 (flipped 6)Subtracted 6 from both sides
x = - 2.5 Divided both sides by 4
