Question

Which is the solution for 2 (5 + 3x) equal 4 (x + 4)
Urgent PLEASE

Answer 1

2.6

Explanation:

2 (5 + 3x) = 4 (x + 4)

multiply 2 by 5 and 3x which would equal 10+6x

now multiply 4 by x and 4 which would equal 4x+16

Now put it in you equation 10+6x = 4x+16

Now add like terms; 4x+6x=10x, 10+16=26

10x=26 Now divided by 10 on both sides

Your answer should be 2.6

Answer 2

x = 3

Explanation:

Perform the indicated multiplication, using the distribution rule:

10 + 6x = 4x + 16

Gathering the first powers of x on the left and the constants on the right, we get:

2x = 6, or x = 3
