Question

4(x − 1) = 2(x + 2) + 6

Answer 1

Distributive Property.
a(b + c) = ab + ac

So, distribute first...
4(x - 1) = 2(x + 2) + 6
4x - 4 = 2x + 4 + 6

Now, Combine like terms ~
4x - 4 = 2x + 4 + 6
4x - 4 = 2x + 10
Add 4 to both sides.
4x = 2x + 14
Subtract 2x from both sides.
2x = 14
Divide by 2.
x = 14 /2

x = 7

Hope this helps!
