Question

i wil give you a brainlyest if you help me and five stars simplify the expression like terms 2(x+6)+3x+4=

Answer 1

Answer: 5x + 16

Step-by-step explanation: distribute, add the numbers, and combine like terms.

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, solve parenthesis:

2(x+6)+3x+4= 0  (Given)

2x + 12 + 3x + 4 = 0   (distributive property of equality)

Then, you comibine like terms:

2x + 12 + 3x + 4 = 0

5x + 16 = 0 (Combining like terms)        

And then, move the variables to the left and constants to the right:

5x + 16 = 0

5x = -16 (Subtraction property of equality) You subtract 16 from both side, since the variable is on the right already you leave it that way.

Finally, you divide both sides to get  the answer ( solve for X):

5x = -16

x = -3.2 (division property of equality)

There is your answer!

Hope this helps!
