Question

i need help with this problem
2 (3x + 4) = x + 6

Answer 1

1)The objective is to get "X" by itself.
2) On the left side of the equation, multiply the 2 by both numbers inside the parenthesis. (6x+ 12)
3) Subtract the 6x from the both sides, so the right side is -5x. x- 6x= -5x
4) Subtract the -6 on each side of the equation so that there is only -5x on the right side.
5) Use the numbers you have solved for on the left side and
divide by -5 to get the variable "x" by itself.

Answer 2

dude i think you did it wrong

Answer 3

2 x 4 is 8

Answer 4

Yes. That is where you come in. :) I only explained how to get the x by itself.
Finding the number on the left (8) was up to you. So now you have 8 just got to step 4/

Answer 5

go to*
6x+8= x+6 >
6x+2=x>
2= -5x
-2/5=x

Is this the answer you got?
