Question

x + 3(x − 2) + 2 = 2x + 6, then x =

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3(x-2) + 2 = 2x + 6

x + 3x -6 +2 -2x - 6 = 0

x + 3x -2x -6 +2 - 6 = 0

2x -10 =0

2x = 10

x = 10÷2

x = 5

Answer 2

Given: The equation is$x + 3(x- 2)+ 2 =2x + 6$.

We have to find the value of$x$.

• By using the concept of equation shifting, we are solving the above equation.  
• For this, we will separate the variables on one side and the constant on another side.  
• Then, we will simplify the equation.  

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

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

$=>x+3x-6+2=2x+6\\=>4x-4=2x+6\\=>4x-2x=6+4\\=>2x=10\\\\=>x=\frac{10}{2} \\\\=>x=5$

Hence, the value of$x$ is$5$.
