Question

4(3+2x) + 2 = 46 , solve for x I need help I'm a bit confused

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

You need to start with the 2x inside the parenthesis

If you put 4 in place of x you get 8

8+3=11

then because there isnt any sign between 4 and the parenthesis you multiply

4x11=44

then its easy

44+2=46

Answer 2

x=4

Explanation:

4(3+2x)+2=46

12+8x+2=46

12+8x=44

8x=32

x=4
