Question

Solve 2 (x + 4) - 10 = 14 step by step

Answer 1

Explanation:

2 (x + 4) - 10 = 14 (evaluate parentheses i.e PEDMAS)

2x + (2)(4) - 10 = 14

2x + 8 - 10 = 14

2x -2 = 14 (add 2 to both sides)

2x = 14 + 2

2x = 16 (divide both sides by 2)

x = 16/2

x = 8

Answer 2

x=8

Explanation:

2(x+4) - 10 =14

distribute the 2 2x +8 -10 +14

simplify 2x-2=14

add 2 2x=16

devide by 2 x=8
