Question

What is the solution of 2(x + 4) - x = 15? or 2x + 8 -x = 15

Answer 1

@Tea-Is-God Try to distribute first 2(x+4)

Answer 2

2x + 4 - x = 15
can you figure it out from there

Answer 3

Well @moser90 Your distribution is a little off

Answer 4

Because 2(x+4)=2(x)+2(4)=2x+8

Answer 5

oops plus 8

Answer 6

2x+8-x=15
Now you have like terms on the left hand side

Answer 7

Go ahead and perform the operation that combines them

Answer 8

3x=7?

Answer 9

x=7?

Answer 10

2x-x+8=15
2x-x=15-8
yes!

Answer 11

so its 7=x
