Answer:
x = 11
Explanation:
- 4(x − 2) = 2(x + 7)
- Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation
4(x − 2) = 2(x + 7)
(4)(x) + (4)(−2) = (2)(x) + (2)(7) (Distribute)
4x + −8 = 2x + 14
4x − 8 = 2x + 14
- Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides
4x − 8 − 2x = 2x + 14 − 2x
2x − 8 = 14
- Step 3: Add 8 to both sides
2x − 8 + 8 = 14 + 8
2x = 22
- Step 4: Divide both sides by 2
2x / 2 = 22 / 2
x = 11
