Question

Find the value of x.
4x + 5
2x + 21, smby help me wit dis pls

Answer 1

Answer: x = 8

Explanation:

4x + 5 = 2x + 21

4x + 5 - 2x = -2x + 2x +21 (Subtract 2x from both sides)

2x + 5 = 21

2x + 5 - 5 = 21 - 5 (Subtract 5 from both sides)

2x = 16

2x/2 = 16/2 (Divide both sides by 2)

x = 8
