Question

What value of x makes the equation below true?

2(x+5) = 6x + 2
A. 1/2 B. 3/4 C. 1 D.2

Answer 1

Option D) 2

Explanation:

`2(x+5)=6x+2\\\rule{150}{0.5}\\\rightarrow 2 * x = 2x\\\\\rightarrow 2 * 5 = 10 \\\\2(x+5) \rightarrow 2x + 10\\\\2x + 10 =6x + 2\\\\2x - 2x + 10 = 6x - 2x +2\\\\10 = 4x + 2\\\\10 - 2 = 4x + 2 - 2\\\\8 = 4x\\\\(8=4x)/(4)\\\\2 = x\\\\\boxed{x=2}`

Hope this helps you!
