Answer:

2(x + 1) = 10

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

2(x + 1) = 10

Solution:

Apply Distributive property

A*(B+C) = (A*B) + (A*C)

This means multiply 2 with x and 1

2*(x+1) = (2*x) + (2*1)

2x + 2 = 10      

Use Subtraction property of equality

A = B, then A - C = B - C

Subtracting 2 from both sides:

2x + 2 - 2 = 10 - 2

2x = 8                  Step 3

Use Division property of equality

It state that if you divide both sides of an equation by same nonzero number then the sides remain equal

Dividing both sides by 2

2x/2 = 8/2

x = 4

This means value of x is 4

Another method to solve this equation is:

2(x+1)=10  

Use Distributive property

A*(B+C) = (A*B) + (A*C)

2*(x+1) = (2*x) + (2*1)  

2*(x+1) = 2x + 2  

Use commutative property

A + (-B) = (-B) + A

2x + 2 + (-2) = 2x + (-2) + 2

2x + 2 + (-2) = 10 + (-2)

2x + 2 - 2 = 10-2  

2x = 8  

Using division property

AX = B  

AX / A = B / A

So

X = B/A

This becomes:

2x = 8

2x = 8.

Divide both sides by 2  

2x / 2 = 8 / 2  

x = 4

alukav5142 [94]
If you paid $14 for 600, you paid:

600 * 14 = $8,400.00

If you sold them for $15.30 a share, you made:

600 * 15.30 = $9,180

9,180 - 8,400 = $780

The return on the investment being $780

Very very safe investment and not worth it.
