Question

Solve for X.
4(5+x)/3 = 2x + 2

Answer 1

x = 7

Explanation:

`(4(5+x))/(3)` = 2x + 2 Multiply both sides by 3

(
`(3)/(1)`)
`(4(5+x))/(3)` = 3(2x + 2) Distribute the 3

4(5+x) = 6x + 6 Distribute the 4

20 + 4x = 6x + 6 Subtract 4x from both sides

20 + 4x - 4x + 6x -4x + 6

20 = 2x + 6 Subtract 6 from both sides

20 - 6 = 2x + 6 -6

14 = 2x Divide both sides by 2

7 = x
