Question

I am having troubles solving this 4(x+3)=x+42 can i get some help please.

Answer 1

x=10

Explanation:

Step 1: Multiply 4 with X and 3. You'll get 4x+12=x+42

Step 2: Keep the variable on one side and the number on the other side. you would subtract X and subtract 12. You'll get 3x=30

Step 3: Divide by the 3 on both sides and you'll get x=10

Answer 2

Given:

`\\ ⇢ \tt \: 4(x + 3) = x + 42 \\`

Solution:

`\\ ⇢ \tt \: 4(x + 3) = x + 42 \\ \\ \\ \tt⇢ 4x + 12 = x + 42 \: \: \\ \\ \\ \tt \: ⇢4x - x = 42 - 12 \: \\ \\ \\ \tt \: ⇢3x = 30 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \\ \tt \: ⇢x = (30)/(3) \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \\ \tt \: \pink{ \pmb{ \mathfrak{⇢x = 10}}} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \\`

Verification:

`\\ ⇢ \tt \: 4(10+ 3) = 10+ 42 \\ \\ \\ \tt⇢ 40 + 12 = 10 + 42 \: \: \\ \\ \\ \tt \: ⇢52 = 52 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \\ \: ⇢ \purple{ \pmb{ \bold{L.H.S = R.H.S}}}\\ \\ \\`

• Hence Verified!
