Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The equation  $18x+4=5(x-2)+9(x+2)$ .

To find : the value of x.

We have to solve given equation for finding the value of x.

first doing multiplication for opening the brackets,

⇒  $18x+4=5(x-2)+9(x+2)$

⇒  $18x+4=5*x+5*(-2)+9*x+9*2$

⇒  $18x+4=5x-10+9x+18$

taking similar terms one side.

⇒  $18x+4=14x+8$

⇒  $18x-14x=8-4$

⇒ $4x=4$

⇒ $x=\frac{4}{4}$

⇒ $x=1$

Hence the value of x is 1.
