Question

What is 3 (4 - x) = x + 2

Answer 1

10/4

Explanation:

3(4-x)=x+2

12-3x=x+2

10=4x

x=10/4

Answer 2

Answer:
`x=\Large\boxed{2.5}`

Explanation:

Given equation

`3(4-x)=x+2`

Expand the parenthesis on the left-hand side

`3* 4-3* x=x+2`

`12-3x=x+2`

Add 3x on both sides

`12-3x+3x=x+2+3x`

`12=4x+2`

Subtract 2 on both sides

`12-2=4x+2-2`

`10=4x`

Divide 4 on both sides

`10/4=4x/4`

`x=\Large\boxed{2.5}`

Hope this helps!! :)
