2 ( x + 1 ) = 12
Use distributive property:
2x + 2 = 12
Subtract 2 from both sides:
2x = 10
Divide both sides by 2:
X = 5
It is a very simple answer but it works!
No, because
60/3 = 20
90/6= 15
Both of the answers aren’t equivalent.
Answer:
x=14/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Group like terms
2x+8x+7=35
Add similar elements: 2x+8x=10x
10x+7=35
Subtract 7 from both sides:
10x+7−7=35−7
Simplify
10x=28
Divide both sides by 10
10x/10 =28/10
Simplify:
x=14/5
