Question

Solve the following equation 2(2x +1) - 3(x - 1) = 8

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you must expand everything:

2(2x+1) - 3(x-1) = 8

2(2x)+2(1) - 3(x)+3(1) = 8

4x + 2 - 3x + 3 = 8

x + 5 = 8

Then, move all the unknown value to one side:

x = 8 - 5

= 3

Answer 2

Answer: x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the equation, open the bracket to give

4x + 2- 3x + 3= 8

Combine like terms

4x-3x= 8-3-2

x=8-5

x=3
