Question

Julie started solving the equation 3x=4+2(3−x).

Answer 1

She needs to solve the equation in the parenthesis.

Step-by-step explanation

Answer 2

Expand 2(3-x)

Explanation:

`3x=4+2(3-x)`

Next step :Expand

`2(3-x) = 6-2x\\\\3x =4+6-2x`

Further solving : Collect like terms

`3x +2x=4+6\\\\\\Simplify\\5x =10`

Divide both sides of the equation by 5

`(5x)/(5) = (10)/(5) \\\\Simplify\\\\x =2`
