What is the value of x in the equation 4(2x + 1) = 27 + 3(2x − 5)?

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

4(2x + 1) = 27 + 3(2x - 5)

Distrubute the 4

8x + 4 = 27 + 3(2x - 5)

Distrubute the 3

8x + 4 = 27 + 6x - 15

    -4                    -4

8x = 27 + 6x - 15 - 4

-6x         -6x

2x = 27 - 15 - 4

2x = 12 - 4

2x = 8

Divide both sides by 2 to get the x by itself

x = 8/2

x = 4
