Question

Solve for x: the quantity of x plus 4 over 3 = 2.

x = −2
x = 2
x = 2 over 3
x = negative 10 over 3

Answer 1

(X + 4)/3 =2
X+4 = 6
X= -2

Answer 2

Answer: The correct option is (B) x = 2.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following equation for the value of x :

"the quantity of x plus 4 over 3 = 2."

The given equation can be written as follows :

`(x+4)/(3)=2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)`

Now, the solution of equation (i) is as follows :

`(x+4)/(3)=2\\\\\Rightarrow x+4=2*3\\\\\Rightarrow x+4=6\\\\\Rightarrow x=6-4\\\\\Rightarrow x=2.`

Thus, the required solution of the given equation is x = 2.

Option (B) is CORRECT.
