Question

4(x-2)=2(x+7) helpp pleasee

Answer 1

4x-8=2x+14

subtract 2x on both sides and add 8 on both sides so x=11

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 11

Explanation:

• 4(x − 2) = 2(x + 7)

• Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation

4(x − 2) = 2(x + 7)

(4)(x) + (4)(−2) = (2)(x) + (2)(7) (Distribute)

4x + −8 = 2x + 14

4x − 8 = 2x + 14

• Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides

4x − 8 − 2x = 2x + 14 − 2x

2x − 8 = 14

• Step 3: Add 8 to both sides

2x − 8 + 8 = 14 + 8

2x = 22

• Step 4: Divide both sides by 2

2x / 2 = 22 / 2

x = 11
