Question

What is x 2(2x+3)-2=5

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 0.25 or $\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

2(2x + 3) - 2 = 5 (Given)

2 · 2x + 2 · 3 - 2 = 5 (Distributive Property of Equality)

4x + 6 - 2 = 5 (Simplify)

4x + 4 = 5 (Simplify)

4x + 4 - 4 = 5 - 4 (Subtraction Property of Equality)

4x = 1 (Simplify)

$\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{1}{4}$ (Division Property of Equality)

x = 0.25 or $\frac{1}{4}$ (Simplify)
