Evaluate
3(x+2)=4(x+1)
Calculate
More Steps

Evaluate
3(x+2)
Apply the distributive property
3x+3×2
Multiply the numbers
3x+6
3x+6=4(x+1)
Calculate
More Steps

Evaluate
4(x+1)
Apply the distributive property
4x+4×1
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
4x+4
3x+6=4x+4
Move the expression to the left side
3x+6−(4x+4)=0
Calculate the sum or difference
More Steps

Add the terms
3x+6−(4x+4)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
3x+6−4x−4
Subtract the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
3x−4x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(3−4)x
Subtract the numbers
−x
−x+6−4
Subtract the numbers
−x+2
−x+2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−x=0−2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−x=−2
