Question

Solve the following equation: 4x+2=18

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+2=18

subtract 2 to both sides

2 cancels out

4x=16

divide both by 4

4 cancels out

x= 4

Answer 2

Answer:

$x$ = 4

Stage One: Subtract two from both sides.

4x + 2 - 2 = 18 - 2.

Stage Two: Divide both by 4.

$\frac{4x}{4}$ = $\frac{16}{4}$

x = 4
