Question

Solve the equation for .

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 34 = 4(x + 5) ← distribute parenthesis by 4

2x + 34 = 4x + 20 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

- 2x + 34 = 20 ( subtract 34 from both sides )

- 2x = - 14 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = 7

Answer 2

2x+34=4x+20
-4x+2x=20-34
-2x=-14
2x=14
x=7
