Question

Solve the equation 4(x – 2) = 3x + 1.

A. 2
B. 9
C. 3
D. 8

Answer 1

Answer: B

Explanation:

4(x-2)=3x+1

4x-8=3x+1

4x-3x=1+8

x=9

Answer 2

B. 9

Explanation:

4(x – 2) = 3x + 1

Distribute the 4

4x-8 =3x+1

Subtract 3x from both sides

4x-3x -8 =3x-3x+1

x-8 =1

Add 8 to each side

x-8+8=1+8

x=9
