Question

How do you soLve this problem using Who: 4(1+3X)+4X=-18+5X

Answer 1

$4(1+3x)+4x= -18+5x$

First, you develop, so you get:
$4+12x+4x = -18+5x$

Then, you put known numbers (numbers without x) apart, and unknown numbers (numbers with x) apart. And remember, moving from a side to another change the sign of the Number (Positive become negative, and negative become positive) so you get:
$12x+4x-5x = -18-4$

Now, you do the calculations, you get:
$11x = -22$

Then, you move 11 to the other side. And since it was in a multiplication equation, it become a division. So you get:
$x = - \frac{22}{11}$
$x = -2$

Hope this Helps! :D

Answer 2

    4(1 + 3x) + 4x = -18 + 5x
4(1) + 4(3x) + 4x = -18 + 5x
      4 + 12x + 4x = -18 + 5x
              4 + 16x = -18 + 5x
                    - 5x           - 5x
              4 + 11x = -18
            - 4               - 4
                    11x = -22
                     11      11
                        x = -2
