Question

How do I do this problem

Answer 1

First you multiply 3 times x and 3 times 2 

4(3(x + 2) -1) =50

and get

4( 3x +6 -1) =50

then you add 6 plus -1

4 ( 3x +5) = 50

then multiply 4 times 3x and 4 times 5

12x +20 = 50 and subtract 20 from both sides

       -20    -20

and you will get

12x = 30

divided both sides by 12

12x/12 = 30/12

then you find the ones that are the same amount in decimals but are smaller

and that's your answer: x= 5/2

hope you get it!!!
