Find the value of x in the equation
3(2x - 4) – 2x = 4 + 2(x + 1)

   X =9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step by step solution :

STEP

1

:

Equation at the end of step 1

 ((3•(2x-4))-2x)-(4+2•(x+1))  = 0

STEP

2

:

STEP

3

:

Pulling out like terms

3.1     Pull out like factors :

  2x - 4  =   2 • (x - 2)

Equation at the end of step

3

:

 (6 • (x - 2) -  2x) -  (2x + 6)  = 0

STEP

4

:

STEP

5

:

Pulling out like terms

5.1     Pull out like factors :

  2x - 18  =   2 • (x - 9)

Equation at the end of step

5

:

 2 • (x - 9)  = 0

STEP

6

:

Equations which are never true:

6.1      Solve :    2   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

6.2      Solve  :    x-9 = 0

Add  9  to both sides of the equation :

                     x = 9

One solution was found :

x = 9

8 2/3 is the answer
