Question

The solution of the equation 2(x + 3) = 4 is 
a)1
b)-1
c)2
d)-2​

Answer 1

Answer:

The solution of the equation $2(x + 3) = 4$ is $-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$2(x + 3) = 4$

We need to find the value of x

$2(x + 3) = 4\\\\2x+6=4\\\\2x=4-6$

$2x=-2\\\\x=\frac{-2}{2}\\\\x=-1$

Answer 2

Answer:

=> The value of x is -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

$2(x + 3) = 4$

To find:- The value of the expression,

To solve this expression, we have to use the transposition method: 

As we have,

=> $2(x + 3) = 4$

Now distributing the terms, we get

=> $2x + 6 = 4$

Subtract both sides by $6$, we get

=> $2x + 6-6 = 4-6$

Simplifying it further, we get

=> $2x=-2$

Divide both sides by $2$,

=> $x = - 1$

Hence, the required solution is -1.
