Question

can someone please explain EACH step that are necessary to Solve 4x-2(x+3)=x+1 , like explain how you get the answer.

Answer 1

4x-2(x+3)=x+1
4x-2x-6=x+1
2x-6=x+1
x-6=1
x=7

Answer 2

can you explain how you got that please

Answer 3

4x-2(x+3)=x+1 (given equation)
4x-2x-6=x+1 (distribute the -2 over the binomial)
2x-6=x+1 (combine the 4x and 2x)
x-6=1 (subtract x from both sides)
x=7 (add 6 to both sides)
