Question

3x+2(6-x)=x+4(x+1)

Answers:
X=1
X= -1
X=4
X=2

Answer 1

x = 2

Explanation:

given the equation

3x + 2(6 - x) = x + 4(x + 1) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides )

3x + 12 - 2x = x + 4x + 4 ← collect like terms on both sides

x + 12 = 5x + 4 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

- 4x + 12 = 4 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

- 4x = - 8 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

`(-4)/(-4)` x =
`(-8)/(-4)` , that is

x = 2
