Answer:


x = 2

Explanation:

Let's solve:


4x+22=6(x+3)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.


4x+22=6(x+3) \\ 4x+22=(6)(x)+(6)(3)\\ (Distribute) \\ 4x+22=6x+18

Step 2: Subtract 6x from both sides.


4x+22−6x=6x+18−6x\\ −2x+22=18

Step 3: Subtract 22 from both sides.


−2x+22−22=18−22 \\ −2x=−4

Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.


( - 2x)/( - 2) = ( - 4)/( - 2) \\ x=2
