Answer:
x = 5
Explanation:
We have the algebraic expression and are asked to solve for x.
To solve, we need to isolate x.
2x + 22 = 4(x + 3)
Distribute :
2x + 22 = (4(x) + 4(3))
2x + 22 = 4x + 12
Subtract 12 from both sides :
2x + 10 = 4x
4x = 2x + 10
Subtract 2x from both sides :
2x = 10
Divide 2 from both sides to get x alone :
x = 5
