Question

Solve for x and show work

Answer 1

• x = -4

Step-by-step explanation :

`\longrightarrow \: - 4 + (x + 4)/(3) - 2 = 2(x + 1) \\ \longrightarrow \: { -4} + (x)/(3) + (4)/(3) - {2} = 2x + 2 \\ \longrightarrow \: { - 4}+ (4)/(3) - {2} - 2 = 2x - (x)/(3) \\ \longrightarrow \: -4 - 2 - 2 + (4)/(3) = 2x - (x)/(3) \\ \longrightarrow \: - 8 + (4)/(3) = 2x - (x)/(3) \\ \longrightarrow \: ( - 20)/(3) = (5)/(3) x \\ \longrightarrow \:( - 20)/(3) * \:3\: = 5x \\ \longrightarrow \:-20 = 5x\\\longrightarrow \:(-20)/(5) = x \\\longrightarrow \:x = - 4`
