Question

What is the value of x in the equation 4x - 2(x + 3) = 8?

A x = 1
B. X = 2.5
C x = 3.5
D. x = 7

Answer 1

x = 7

Explanation:

The given equation is 4x - 2(x + 3) = 8. We need to find the value of x. The steps are as follows :

Firstly opening the bracket on the LHS,

4x -2x-6 = 8

Adding like terms together. So,

2x = 8+6

2x = 14

x = 7

So, the value of x is 7. Hence, the correct option is (d).
