Question

4(2x - 1) = 3x + 6 Solve for x. Show steps with sentences supporting each step.

Answer 1

Explanation:

4(2x - 1) = 3x + 6

8x-4=3x+6

8x-3x=6+4

5x=10

x=10/5=2

Answer 2

x = 2

Explanation:

4(2x - 1) = 3x + 6

Simplify

8x - 4 = 3x + 6

Subtract 3x from both sides

8x - 3x - 4 = 3x - 3x + 6

5x - 4 = 6

Add 4 to both sides

5x - 4 + 4 = 6 + 4

5x = 10

Divide both sides by 5

5x/5 = 10/5

x = 2
