Question

can anyone help?????? Can y’all write it detailed or like step by step explaining cause i have to write it down ..

Answer 1

x=5

Explanation:

Step 1:Using the distributive property on the right side of the equation

8x+2=2x+4(x+3)

8x+2=2x+4x+12

Step2:Combining the like terms on the right side if the equation (Since there are no like terms on the left side) :

8x+2=6x+12

Step 3: Using the inverse operations to get the variables on the left side and the constants on the right side of the equation :

8x-6x=12-2

Step4: Using inverse operation to solve for the variable of interest which is 'x':

2x=10 (Dividing both sides by two sides by 2)

x=5

Answer 2

x = 5

Explanation:

Step 1: Distributive property

Using this property means when you have something like the equation on the right side ( 4 ( x + 3 ) ) you multiply both the values in the parentheses by the number outside:

4 ( x + 3 )

( 4 x X ) + ( 4 x 3 )

4x + 12

8x + 2 = 2x + 4x + 12

Step 2: combine like terms

Combining like terms is when you find like terms with the same variables and such and add them together:

8x + 2 = 12 + ( 2x + 4x )

8x + 2 = 12 + 6x

Step 3:Using inverse operations

This means that you need to get a variable one one side and a constant on the other:

8x + 2 ( -2 ) = 12 ( -2 ) + 6x

8x = 10 + 6x

8x ( -6x ) = 10 + 6x ( -6x )

2x = 10

Step 4: solve for the variable

The last thing you need to do is divide both sides by the constant with the variable ( 2x ) to get x by itself:

2x ( /2 ) = 10 ( /2 )

x = 5
