Question

How do you solve this 2+4(x-1)=22;x=6

Answer 1

x = 6 tells you what the value for x is in the equation: 2 + 4(x - 1) = 22

because: 2 + 4(6 - 1) = 22

2 + 4(5) = 22

2 + 20 = 22

22 = 22

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = 6

Explanation:

Given

2 + 4(x - 1) = 22 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

4(x - 1) = 20 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x - 1 = 5 ( add 1 to both sides )

x = 6
