Question

PLEASE HELP!!

Solve: 2x+4=8

Then add it to 2

Then add it to 10

then subtract 3

Then add 10

What's the answer???

Answer 1

I'm sure your answer would be 21

Answer 2

First, solve for x. Isolate the x. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

2x + 4 = 8

Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.

subtract 4 from both sides

2x + 4 (-4) = 8 (-4)

2x = 8 - 4

2x = 4

divide 2 from both sides

2x/2 = 4/2

x = 4/2

x = 2

you know you're starting number now: 2

"then add it to two": 2 + 2 = 4
"then add it to ten": 4 + 10 = 14
"then subtract three": 14 - 3 = 11
"then add ten": 11 + 10 = 21

21 is your final answer


hope this helps
