Question

What is the value of
4(x+2)=14-2(3-4x)

Answer 1

hi

Answer 2

On the left hand side we can see here that this is the distributive property
\[4(x+2) = 4*2+4*2 = 4x+8 \]

now let's work on the right hand side
we make sure we distribute the negative
\[14-2(3-4x) = 14-(2*3)-(2*)(-4x) = 14-6+8x\]

\[4x+8 = 8+8x \]

\[4x = 0 , x = 0\]
we get x = 0

so we check our answer

\[4(0+2) = 14-2(3-0), 8 = 8 \]

@Photon336 yes, Thank you!

Answer 6

The key here is the distributive property

\[a(b+c) = a*b + a*c = ab+ac \]
