Question

4(2x+1)=36 solve the given equation

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

4(2x + 1) = 36

Reorder the terms:

4(1 + 2x) = 36

(1 * 4 + 2x * 4) = 36

(4 + 8x) = 36

Solving

4 + 8x = 36

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.

4 + -4 + 8x = 36 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0

0 + 8x = 36 + -4

8x = 36 + -4

Combine like terms: 36 + -4 = 32

8x = 32

Divide each side by '8'.

x = 4

Simplifying

x = 4
