Question

Please solve the equation below.

2x+4=3(x-4)

Answer 1

• x=16

Explanation:

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

`\sf 2x+4=3x-12`

`\sf 2x+4-4=3x-12-4`

`\sf 2x=3x-16`

`\sf 2x-3x=3x-16-3x`

`\sf -x=-16`

`\sf \cfrac{-x}{-1}=\cfrac{-16}{-1}`

`\sf x=16`

Answer 2

Question:-

solve the equation below :-

2x+4=3(x-4)

Answer:-

x = 16

Explanation:-

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

=> 2x+4 = 3x-12

=> 2x+4 - 4 = 3x-12 - 4 (Subtract 4 on both the sides)

=> 2x = 3x-16

=> 2x-3x = -16

=> -x = -16

=> -x/-1 = -16/-1

=> x = 16
