Question

Solve
2(4x + 3) = 10x - 2​

Answer 1

x= 4

Explanation:

we open brackets first

2(4x + 3) = 10x - 2

8x+6=10x-2

transpose

6+2= 10x-8x

8= 2x

x= 8/2

x= 4

Answer 2

x = 4

Explanation:

2(4x + 3) = 10x - 2

2 × 4x + 2 × 3 = 10x - 2

8x + 6 = 10x - 2

8x - 10x = - 6 - 2

- 2x = - 8

2x = 8

x = 8/2

x = 4
