Question

What is
2 (3x+7) = 4

Answer 1

x = -6/10

Explanation:

First distribute so you get 6 x + 14 = 4

Then subtract by 14 so you get 6 x = -10

And divide by 6 to get x = - 6/10

2 (3x+7) = 4

6 x + 14 = 4

6 x = -10

x = -6/10

Answer 2

x = -5/3

Explanation:

2(3x+7) = 4

6x + 14 = 4

Subtract 14 from both sides,

6x = 4-14

6x = -10

Divide by 6 on both sides,

x = -10/6 = -5/3
