OpenStudy (noseboy908):

first distribute 2 to (x+4)

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

to get...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x + 8?

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

correct, now solve for x

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

tell me what you get for your final answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do I solve for x?

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

because your eqn is 2x+8=30, subtract 8 from each side to start

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8 - 8 and 30 - 8?

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

to be specific: "2x+8-8=30-8", but yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = 22

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

don't skip ahead, it's 2x=22.

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

solve for x now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

correct.
