Question

2(4x-4)+2(3x+2)=360
how do i do this step by step?

Answer 1

8x - 8 + 6x + 6 = 360
ok?

Answer 2

Solve for x:
2 (3 x+2)+2 (4 x-4) = 360

Answer 3

it would be 6x+6+8x+8

Answer 4

Factor the polynomial, 4 x-4.

Answer 5

im just afraid I'm doing it wrong with combining the like terms

Answer 6

No,No!you are doing it wrong!

Answer 7

Solve for x:
2 (3 x+2)+2 (4 x-4) = 360
Factor the polynomial, 4 x-4.
Factor 4 from the polynomial 4 x-4:
2 (3 x+2)+2×4 (x-1) = 360
Multiply 2 and 4 together.
2×4 = 8:
2 (3 x+2)+8 (x-1) = 360
Distribute 2 over 3 x+2.
2 (3 x+2) = 6 x+4:
6 x+4+8 (x-1) = 360
Distribute 8 over x-1.
8 (x-1) = 8 x-8:
8 x-8+6 x+4 = 360
Group like terms in 8 x+6 x-8+4.
Grouping like terms, 8 x+6 x-8+4 = (6 x+8 x)+(4-8):
(6 x+8 x)+(4-8) = 360
Add like terms in 6 x+8 x.
6 x+8 x = 14 x:
14 x+(4-8) = 360
Evaluate 4-8.
4-8 = -4:
14 x+-4 = 360
Factor the polynomial, 14 x-4.
Factor 2 from the polynomial 14 x-4:
2 (7 x-2) = 360
Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.
Divide both sides of 2 (7 x-2) = 360 by 2:
(2 (7 x-2))/2 = 360/2
Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.
2/2 = 1:
7 x-2 = 360/2
Reduce 360/2 to lowest terms.
The gcd of 360 and 2 is 2, so 360/2 = (2×180)/(2×1) = 2/2×180 = 180:
7 x-2 = 180
Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.
Add 2 to both sides:
7 x+(2-2) = 180+2
Look for two terms that sum to zero.
2-2 = 0:
7 x = 180+2
Evaluate 180+2.
180+2 = 182:
7 x = 182
Solve for x.
Divide both sides of 7 x = 182 by 7:
(7 x)/7 = 182/7
Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.
7/7 = 1:
x = 182/7
Reduce 182/7 to lowest terms.
The gcd of 182 and 7 is 7, so 182/7 = (7×26)/(7×1) = 7/7×26 = 26:
Answer: |
| x = 26

Answer 8

6x+4 my bad

Answer 9

whoa lol

Answer 10

@zkrup , Don't Give him the answer!

Answer 11

Show him the steps!

Answer 12

I don't want the answer I just need help with the step

Answer 13

OK,I will help you...

Answer 14

thank you

Answer 15

2(4x-4)+2(3x+2) = 8x - 8 + 6x + 2

Answer 16

ok?

Answer 17

yes

Answer 18

do we subtract 6x on each side?

Answer 19

@PFEH.1999 Do you not see all those steps?

Answer 20

and it is:
8(x - 1) + 6(x + 2)

Answer 21

@zkrup !but you gave him the answer!

Answer 22

hes just helpin

Answer 23

@PFEH.1999 But I showed him how to get it.

Answer 24

ok,ok I know!he helped well!

Answer 25

but he shouldn't give the answer...

Answer 26

omg can we stop this lol

Answer 27

ik im talking about you

Answer 28

did you understand this?
8(x - 1) + 6(x + 2)

Answer 29

so do I add the like terms now?

Answer 30

no :/

Answer 31

ok,so i should show you another way...

Answer 32

is it 8 times x and 1 + 6 times x +2

Answer 33

plese forgot that :)
8x - 8 + 6x + 2 = 360
--> 8x + 6x = 8 -2 + 360

Answer 34

ok?

Answer 35

yes

Answer 36

8 - 2 + 360 = ?
say...

Answer 37

366

Answer 38

ok,and this one?
8x + 6x = ?

Answer 39

14x

Answer 40

oh sorry,It was 8 - 6 + 360 not 8 -2 + 360 ...
and x = 362 / 14

Answer 41

really I though there were re steps?

Answer 42

i'll do it again just to make sure I got it and thanks a lot!

Answer 43

ok do it...perhaps i made some mistakes :)

Answer 44

I think we forgot some last steps but its ok i'll finsh it gtg though thanks you very much

Answer 45

2(4x-4)+2(3x+2)=360

Distribute the number outside the parenthesis to the number inside the parenthesis. Basically, you multiply the number outside the parenthesis by EACH number inside the parenthesis.

8x-8+6x+4=360

Now, Combine like terms.

8x+6x & -8+4

14x-4=360
+4 +4

Separate the variable. So you add +4 on both sides to get variable alone.

14x=364

Isolate the variable. Divide by 14 on both sides, so that in the end... It's JUST x.

x=26

Answer 46

@FilthyMcNasty , solved it correct :)
