Question

review the steps to solve the problem. What is wrong in these steps?
4* (x+2) = 14
Step 1: 4x + 2 = 14
Step 2: 4x = 12
Step 3: x=3

I think that the first error is in step one. Shouldn't it be 4x + 8 = 14... or is this all correct

Answer 1

Yes it should be 4x+8=14

Answer 2

so then it would be 4x+8=14
4x=6

then what would x be?

Answer 3

x would then be
\[\frac{ 6 }{ 4 } or \frac{ 3 }{ 2 }\]
when simplified.

Answer 4

thank you

Answer 5

No Problem, Good Luck :)
