Question

What is 4X + 1/2(4X +6)=12

Answer 1

x = 3/2

Explanation:

4x + 2x + 3 = 12 ← distribute the 1/2 to both numbers in the parentheses

6x + 3 = 12 ← subtract 3 on both sides

6x = 9 ← divide by 6 on both sides

x = 3/2

Answer 2

x = 3/2

Explanation:

4X + 1/2(4X +6)=12

Distribute

4x+2x+3 = 12

6x +3 = 12

Subtract 3 from each side

6x+3-3 = 12 -3

6x = 9

Divide each side by 6

6x/6 = 9/6

x = 3/2
