Question

Julie started solving the equation 3x=4+2(3−x).

Which is a correct next step?

Answer 1

Answer:

She needs to solve the equation in the parenthesis.

Step-by-step explanation

Answer 2

Answer:

Expand 2(3-x)

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Next step :Expand

$2(3-x) = 6-2x\\\\3x =4+6-2x$

Further solving : Collect like terms

$3x +2x=4+6\\\\\\Simplify\\5x =10$

Divide both sides of the equation by 5

$\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{10}{5} \\\\Simplify\\\\x =2$
