Answer:

x = 2, x = 3, x = 6, x = 1

Explanation:

1

2(x + 3) = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x + 3 = 5 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

x = 2

2

2(x + 3) = 9 + x ← distribute parenthesis on left side

2x + 6 = 9 + x ( subtract x from both sides )

x + 6 = 9 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

x = 3

3

2(2x + 1) = 3x + 8 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

4x + 2 = 3x + 8 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

x + 2 = 8 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

x = 6

4

2(2x + 3) = x + 9 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

4x + 6 = x + 9 ( subtract x from both sides )

3x + 6 = 9 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

3x = 3 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 1
