Question

4(2x-1)+2x+2= 28

solve for X

Answer 1

4(2x-1)= 8x-4
8x-4+2x+2=28
10x=28+4-2
10x=30
x=30/10
x=3

Answer 2

X=3

Explanation:

First you can distribute the 4 to 2x-1 making is 8x-4

8x-4+2x+2=28

Now add like terms

8x+2x-4+2=28, 10x-2=28

Add 2 to both sides

10x=30

Divide both sides by 10

x=3
