Question

What equation is equivalent to 2+3(2x+4)=13

Answer 1

Answer:

14+6x=13, or further 1+6x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

2+3(2x+4)=13,

Distribute the 3 into the parenthesis:

2+6x+12=13

Now combine like terms: 14+6x=13.

You can also write this as 1+6x=0 by subtracting 13 to the left, though it might not be necessary.
