Question

Answer 1

ight so distribute the 4 so you get 4x+4 then subtract 4 from 8 which leaves you with 4x=4 divide by 4 and you get 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

`\bf{4(x+1)=8}`

Divide both sides by 4.

`\bf{x+1=(8)/(4) }`

Divide 8 by 4 to get 2.

`\bf{x+1=2}`

Subtract 1 from both sides.

`\bf{x=2-1 }`

Subtract 1 from 2 to get 1.

`\bf{x=1 \ \ \to \ \ \ Answer}`

Verification

Let x=1.

`\bf{4*(1+1)=8 \ \ \to \ \ \ [Add] }`

`\bf{4*2=8 \ \ \to \ \ \ [Multiply]}`

`\bf{8=8 \ \ \to \ \ \ [Equality \ holds] }`
