Question

x+(x+2)=(x+4)+31simplify the equation

Answer 1

x+(x+2)=(x+4)+31

2x + 2 = x +35

2x - x =35-2

x =33

Value of x after simplification is 33

Answer 2

x + ( x + 2) = ( x + 4 ) + 31

Step 1.
Remove the brackets

x + x + 2 = x + 4 + 31

Step 2.
Add like terms

2x + 2 = x + 35

Step3.
Use transposing method

2x - x = 35 - 2

x = 33.
