Question

4x + 5 = 3(x + 2) is =​

Answer 1

Answer:

Simplifying

4x + 5 = 3(x + -2)

Reorder the terms:

5 + 4x = 3(x + -2)

Reorder the terms:

5 + 4x = 3(-2 + x)

5 + 4x = (-2 * 3 + x * 3)

5 + 4x = (-6 + 3x)

Solving

5 + 4x = -6 + 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.

5 + 4x + -3x = -6 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 4x + -3x = 1x

5 + 1x = -6 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

5 + 1x = -6 + 0

5 + 1x = -6

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.

5 + -5 + 1x = -6 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0

0 + 1x = -6 + -5

1x = -6 + -5

Combine like terms: -6 + -5 = -11

1x = -11

Divide each side by '1'.

x = -11

Simplifying

x = -11

Answer 2

Here we are given an equation 4x + 5 = 3 (x + 2)

We have to solve the equation for the value of x

We will first open the bracket and then rearrange the equation as given below

So, 4x + 5 = 3 (x + 2)

     4x + 5 = 3x + 6

      4x - 3x = 6 - 5

              x = 1

Hence, the value of x will be 1
