Question

Can you explain how to do this to refresh my memory?

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

Answer 1

dont you just multiply the 4(x-1) and the 2(x+2) then combine like terms

Answer 2

?????????

Answer 3

4(x-1)=2(x+2)+6
4x-4=2x+4+6
4x-4=2x+10
+4 +4
4x=2x+14
-2x -2x
2x=14
divide everything by 2 to get the x to be alone.
14 divided by 2 is 7. therefore, x=7

Answer 4

and to make things easier, you can also divide everything by 2 from the 1st step itself.

Answer 5

yeah, thats right, thatll make it wayyy easier

Answer 6

Okay thank you!
