Question

4(x+1)=2x+4 what is the value of x?​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x+1)=2x+4

Distribute

4x+4 = 2x+4

Subtract 4 from each side

4x+4-4 = 2x+4-4

4x= 2x

Subtract 2x from each side

4x-2x = 2x-2x

2x=0

Divide by 2

x =0

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

4(x + 1) = 2x + 4

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Factor:                                                                                                               4(x + 1) = 2(x + 2)
2. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 2 on both sides:                                 2(x + 1) = x + 2
3. [Distributive Property] Distribute 2:                                                                 2x + 2 = x + 2
4. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract x on both sides:                         x + 2 = 2
5. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2 on both sides:                        x = 0
