Question

4(3x+2)+68
please help me and explained?

Answer 1

Simplifying

4(3x + 2) = 68

Reorder the terms:

4(2 + 3x) = 68 (2 * 4 + 3x * 4) = 68 (8 + 12x) = 68 Solving

8 + 12x = 68

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 + 12x = 68 + -8

Combine like terms:

8 + -8 = 0 0 + 12x = 68 + -8 12x = 68 + -8

Combine like terms:

68 + -8 = 60 12x = 60

Divide each side by '12'.

x = 5

Simplifying

x = 5
