2x+22=4(x+3)
2x+22=4x+12
2x+10=4x
10=2x
5=x

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

First, you will start with distributive property. on the right side you will distribute 4 into x and 3.

the equation will become:
2x + 22 = 4x + 12

then you have to get x on only one side of the equal sign. subtract 2x from 4x and the equation becomes:
22 = 2x + 12

subtract 12 from 22:
10 = 2x

divide 10 by 2:
5 = x
or
x = 5
