Answer:
<h3>x = 5</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 2(x + 6)
f(x) = 22
thereofre we have the equation:
2(x + 6) = 22 <em>use distributive property</em>
2x + 12 = 22 <em>subtract 12 from both sides</em>
2x = 10 <em>divide both sides by 2</em>
x = 5
Ok so right now leave the x's alone. Now add/subtract the numbers without variables which would equal to 0 since -1+4 = 3 and 3-3 =0
now 7x+x =8x so 8x is answer
