Question

Wat is the value of x in the equation
5x + 2(x + 1) = 4​

Answer 1

x =
`\bf~(2)/(7)~or~0,285`

Explanation:

5x + 2(x + 1) = 4

5x + 2x + 2 = 4 (here we got rid of the parenthesis)

7x + 2 = 4 (here we summed both of our x values)

7x = 4 - 2 (here we took #2 to the other side of the equation)

7x = 2 (we subtracted 4 - 2)

x = 2 / 7

x =
`\bf~(2)/(7)~or~0,285`

Hope it helped,
