2(3x+4) - 2x = 24
I need help rq on this problem I need to solve it

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2(3x+4)-2x=24

Expand parenthesis

6x+8-2x=24

Combine like terms

4x+8=24

Subtract 8 on both sides

4x+8-8=24-8

4x=16

Divide 4 on both sides

4x/4=16/4

x=4

Hope this helps!! :)

2 equivalent expressions to represent the area of a rectangle and the top is n-3 and the side is 2

area of the rectangle = length * width

given length = n - 3

width = 2

replace it in the area

so area of the rectangle = (n-3) *2

= 2(n-3)

one of the expression is 2(n-3)

to get another expression we distribute 2 inside the parenthesis

2(n-3) is 2n - 6

so another expression is 2n - 6

two equivalent expression are

2(n - 3)   , 2n - 6
