Question

What is x in x+2=4(x-3)

Answer 1

x=14/3 is the correct answer. First you had to expand, and it gave us, $4(x-3)=4x-12$, or $x+2=4x-12$. And then subtract by two (2) from both sides of equation, and it gave us, $x+2-2=4x-12-2$. Simplify, and it gave us, $x=4x-14$. You can also subtract by four x (4x) from both sides of equation, and it gave us, $x-4x=4x-14-4x$. And then simplify, and it gave us, $-3x=-14$. You divide by negative three (-3) from both sides of equation, and it gave us, $\frac{-3x}{-3}=\frac{-14}{-3}$. And finally simplify, and it gave us the answer is x=14/3 is the final answer.
