Question

2(x+4)=36 ? solution

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Simplifying

2(x + 4) = 36

Reorder the terms:

2(4 + x) = 36

(4 * 2 + x * 2) = 36

(8 + 2x) = 36

Solving

8 + 2x = 36

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.

8 + -8 + 2x = 36 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0

0 + 2x = 36 + -8

2x = 36 + -8

Combine like terms: 36 + -8 = 28

2x = 28

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 14

Simplifying

x = 14

Answer 2

Answer:

x=14

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+8=36

2x=36-8

2x=28

x=28/2

x=14
