Question

What is the value of x in the following equation?

Answer 1

4x+8=20

First subtract 8 from both sides

4x+8=20(8-8 and 20-8)

4x=12

Now divide 4 from both sides

4x=12(4x/4 and 12/4)

x=3

So x= 3

Now time to check the equation.

4(3)+8=

Multiply 4 and 3

12+8=20

now add 12 and 8

So the answer is C. 3

Answer 2

20-8=12
12/4=3
4x3+8=20
Answer is c.
