Question

Lol i still can't get this halp
4(x + 1) = 4x + 4.
5 = 4 x 2 + 4
5 = 12

Answer 1

okay so i assume you just want to solve for x in the function 4(x + 1) = 4x + 4.
right?

Answer 2

oops the 2 second lines are my work that i messed up on
the problem is 4(x+1) = 4x + 4

Answer 3

Okay do you remember how to distribute the 4 into (x+1)?

Answer 4

the options for it are
no solution
0
all real numbers
1

Answer 5

It's like taking 4 and multiplying x and +1 separately. Just think of it like that when you get started.

Answer 6

Did you get that @misty_fox?

Answer 7

4(x+1) = 4x + 4
we start of by distributing
4(x+1) = 4(x + 1)
and here you can see that everything cancels out which usually means the solution is all real numbers to make sure you can plug in both 0 and 1 just to make sure and sure enough they both work

Answer 8

woops ment to say factoring not distributing but you can distribute too and you'd still get to equal functions on either side

Answer 9

Yes watchpencilpaper is right! :)
