Question

Find the value of x
if xfit
2(x+3)=2

Answer 1

x = -2

Explanation:

2(x + 3) = 2

Apply distributive property, we have:

2*x + 2*3 = 2

or

2x + 6 = 2

Transfer 6 to the right, we have:

2x = 2 - 6

or

2x = -4

Divide both sides by 2, we have:

(2/2)x = -4/2

or

x = -2

Answer 2

Explanation:

2(x+3)=2

Divide both sides by 2:

x+3=1

Subtract 3 from both sides:

x=-2
