Question

Solve: 4x − 2(x + 1) = 3x + 10

The answer is 12 right?

Answer 1

Distrubutive Law

Answer 2

4x - 2x - 2 = 3x + 10

2x - 3x = 12

-x = 12

x = -12

Answer 3

4x-2x-2=3x+10

2x-2=3x+10

2x-3x=10+2

-x = 12

x= -12

Answer 4

I thought it was 4x-2x-2= 3x+10
2x-2=3x+10
2x=3x+12
x=12

Answer 5

cuz your subtracting 4x-2x so how would you 3x?

Answer 6

yeah but the method is the main thing here so without the distributive law u won't be able to get the right answer

Answer 7

Yea i know I distributed -2(x+1) thats how i got the 4x-2x

Answer 8

I don't know how you got the 3x there on the left side of the equation

Answer 9
