Question

linear equations w/ distribution (lev 1) unique id: 0026 score: 2/5 penalty: none question solve. 4(x + 10) = 44

Explanation:

Step1: Distribute 4

$4(x + 10)=4x+4\times10 = 4x + 40$. So the equation becomes $4x+40 = 44$.

Step2: Subtract 40 from both sides

$4x+40-40=44 - 40$, which simplifies to $4x=4$.

Step3: Divide both sides by 4

$\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{4}{4}$, so $x = 1$.

Answer:

$x = 1$
