Question

4(x + 1) + 8 = 24
how do i solve this

Answer 1

x=3

Explanation:

4x+4+8=24

4x+12=24

4x=12

4x/4=12/4

(x=3)

Answer 2

Answer: x = 3

First, you can multiply the 4 with the x and the 1:

4x + 4 + 8 = 24

Now, you just add the 4 and the 8 together:

4x + 12 = 24

Subtract 12 from both sides:

4x = 12

Now you divide by 4 from both sides

x = 3

^ and that's your final answer!
