Answer:

Use the distributive property and you get 5.

2(x+1) = 12

2x + 2 = 12

Subtract 2 from both sides

2x = 10

Solve x.

2 ( x + 1 ) = 12

Use distributive property:

2x + 2 = 12

Subtract 2 from both sides:

2x = 10

Divide both sides by 2:

X = 5

Answer:

C = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

C = [2×1/4 + 1] ÷ [3×1/4 -1 ]

C = 3/2 ÷ -1/4

C = 3/2 × -4 = -6

C = 2d + 1 / 3d - 1

So, d = ( C + 1 ) / ( 3C - 2 )

The next step is most likely the following:
3x = 18

This is because you add up 3 on both sides on the equation.
