Question

Solve 4(x + 1) + 8 = 24. (1 point) 3.75 −2 5 3

Answer 1

4x+4+8=24 3.75-2.53= 1.22
4x+12=24
4x=12
x=3

Answer 2

4(x + 1) + 8 = 24

Simplify.

4x + 4 + 8 = 24

Add like terms.

4x + 12 = 24

Subtract 12 from both sides.

4x = 24 - 12

Simplify.

4x = 12

Divide both sides by 4.

x = 12/4

x = 3


And, if you meant 3.75 - 2.53, then that equals 1.22.

Remember, always line up the decimal points! :)
