Question

IF 2(x + 3) = 20, then x=

Answer 1

x=7

Explanation:

so first you have to distribute 2 to x and 3. so it will be

2x+ 6=20

now subtract 6 from both sides

2x+6 -6= 20-6

so you will remain with

2x = 14

now divide 2 on both sides

`(2x)/(2) = (14)/(2)`

after that you will get your answer

x=7

Answer 2

Answer: x=7

Step-by-step explanation: 10 times 2 is 20, so x+3 has to equal 10.
