Question

What is 4(x + 1) = 8.

Answer 1

Answer:

ight so distribute the 4 so you get 4x+4 then subtract 4 from 8 which leaves you with 4x=4 divide by 4 and you get 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

$\bf{4(x+1)=8}$

Divide both sides by 4.

$\bf{x+1=\dfrac{8}{4} }$

Divide 8 by 4 to get 2.

$\bf{x+1=2}$

Subtract 1 from both sides.

$\bf{x=2-1 }$

Subtract 1 from 2 to get 1.

$\bf{x=1 \ \ \to \ \ \ Answer}$

Verification

Let x=1.

$\bf{4\times(1+1)=8 \ \ \to \ \ \ [Add] }$

$\bf{4\times2=8 \ \ \to \ \ \ [Multiply]}$

$\bf{8=8 \ \ \to \ \ \ [Equality \ holds] }$
