Answer:
x=6
Explanation:
4(x + 4) + 2x= 52
We solve the bracket first by multiplying x+4 by 4
4x+16+2x=52
Collect like terms
4x+2x+16=52
6x+16=52
6x=52-16
6x=36
Divide both sides by 6
6x/6=36/6
x=36/6
x=6
To check for accuracy. We subsitute x for 6 in the equation and both sides of the equation must be equal
4(x + 4) + 2x= 52
4(6+4)+2(6)=62
4(10)+2(6)=52
40+12=52
52=52
