Answer 1

Hello!

Explanation:

Distributive property: → $a(b+c)=ab+ac$

First do expand.

$4(x+1)=4x+4$

Then you subtract by 4 from both sides of an equation.

$4x+4-4=2x+4-4$

Simplify by equation.

$4x=2x$

Next, subtract by 2x from both sides of an equation.

$4x-2x=2x-2x$

Simplify.

$2x=0$

You can also divide by 2 from both sides of an equation.

$\frac{2x}{2}= \frac{0}{2}$

Finally, simplify by equation and dividing into the groups.

$0/2=0$

Answer: → $\boxed{x=0}$

Hope this helps!
