Question

Solve for x
2x+22=4(x+3)

Answer 1

x = 5

Explanation:

In algebra, the goal is always to isolate the variable, so that its value can be determined.

Step 1: Use Distributive Property

2x + 22 = 4x + 12

Step 2: Subtract 4x

-2x + 22 = 12

Step 3: Subtract 22

-2x = -10

Step 4: Divide by -2

x = 5

Step 5: Check

2(5) + 22 = 4(5) + 12

10 + 22 = 20 + 12

32 = 32 ✔

Step 6: Answer

x = 5
