Question

2(4x+5)-2=2x+44?
a.6
b.19/3
c.41/6
d.26/3​

Answer 1

a. x = 6.

Explanation:

2(4x+5)-2=2x+44 First distribute the 2 over the brackets:

8x + 10 - 2 = 2x + 44

8x - 2x = 44 - 10 + 2

6x = 36

x = 6.

Answer 2

8x+10-2= 2x+44
8x+8= 2x+44
8x-2x= 44-8
6x= 36
x= 6

so A is the correct answer :)
