Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Also, follow PEMDAS.

First, distribute 4 to all terms within the parenthesis:

4(3x + 2) = (4)(3x) + (4)(2) = 12x + 8

12x + 8 = 68

Isolate the variable x. Subtract 8 from both sides.

12x + 8 (-8) = 68 (-8)

12x = 68 - 8

12x = 60

Isolate the variable, x. Divide 12 from both sides.

(12x)/12 = (60)/12

x = 60/12

x = 5

5 is your answer for x.

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

4(3x+2)=68

Divide each side by 4

4/4(3x+2)=68/4

3x+2 =17

Subtract 2 from each side

3x+2-2 = 17-2

3x = 15

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 15/3

x =5

NeTakaya
(3, –2) and (6, 2)First, we must establish slope...m=(y-y1)/(x-x1)m=(-2-2)/(3-6)m=-4/-3m=4/3Point slope formula is...y-y1=m(x-x1)Let's select either coordinate.  I randomly select the first (3, –2)...y--2=4/3(x-3)Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number...y+2=4/3(x-3)This corresponds to the first answer.Standard form...Ax+By=Cy+2=(4/3)x-4y=(4/3)x-6-(4/3)x+y=-6Multiply both sides by 3...-4x+3y=-18This also corresponds to the first answer. How about the second coordinate, (6, 2)...y-y1=m(x-x1)y-2=(4/3)(x-6)Let's convert it into standard form..y-2=(4/3)x-8y=(4/3)x-6-(4/3)x+y=-6Multiply both sides by 3...-4x+3y=-18
