Question

3x + 2(4x + 2) = 2(6x + 1)
how do you solve this

Answer 1

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 4x+2.

3x+8x+4=2(6x+1)

Combine 3x and 8x to get 11x.

11x+4=2(6x+1)

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 6x+1.

11x+4=12x+2

Subtract 12x from both sides.

11x+4−12x=2

Combine 11x and −12x to get −x.

−x+4=2

Subtract 4 from both sides.

−x=2−4

Subtract 4 from 2 to get −2.

−x=−2

Multiply both sides by −1.

x=2

Answer 2

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x+2(4x+2)=2(6x+1)\\\\3x+8x+4=12x+2\\\\(3x+8x)+4=12x+2\\\\(3+8)x+4=12x+2\\\\11x+4=12x+2\\\\11x+4-12x=12x-12x+2\\\\(11x-12x)+4=0+2\\\\(11-12)x+4=2\\\\-1x+4=2\\\\-x+4=2\\\\-x+4-4=2-4\\\\-x+0=-2\\\\-x=-2\\\\-1(-x)=-1(-2)\\\\x=2$
