Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive Property: a(b + c) = (a*b) + (a*c)

           2x - 4(x - 3) = -8 + 5x - 8

2x + x * (-4) - 3*(-4) = -8 + 5x - 8

          2x - 4x + 12  = -8 + 5x - 8    

   2x -  4x - 5x + 12 = -8 - 8

               -7x  + 12  = -16

                       -7x  = -16  -12

                      -7x   = -28

                          x = -28/-7

x = 4

What is the solution to this equation 4x + 2 ( x + 6 ) = 36
Margaret [11]

The answer is A. x=4.


Start off by distributing the parentheses into the equation.

4x+2(x+6)=36

4x+2x+12=26


Combine like terms.

4x+2x=6x

6x+12=36


Now solve the equation as normal. Begin by subtracting 12 from both sides to isolate the variable.

6x+12=36

-12 -12

---------------

6x = 24


Divide 6 on both sides to find x.

6x=24

---- -----

6 6

x=4


The solution to the equation is 4.
