Question

SOLVE THE FOLLOWING
2(X+4)=12

Answer 1

$2(x + 4) = 12 \\ 2x + 8 = 12 \\ 2x = 12 - 8 \\ 2x = 4 \\ x = \frac{4}{2} = 2$

Answer 2

Hey, here's your answer:

->2(x+4) = 12

Open the brackets in the LHS

->2x + 8 = 12

Bring 8 to the RHS

->2x = 12 - 8 (Note that 8 will be negative in the RHS)

->2x = 4

Now, divide 4 with 2

->x=2

Hope this helps!
