Answer 2

x = 5

Explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

4x + 2 + 4x + 3 = 45

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Combine like terms: 8x + 5 = 45
2. Subtract 5 on both sides: 8x = 40
3. Divide both sides by 8: x = 5

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it's a solution.

4(5) + 2 + 4(5) + 3 = 45

20 + 2 + 20 + 3 = 45

22 + 23 = 45

45 = 45
