Question
Solve the equation
x=31
Alternative Form
x=0.3˙
Evaluate
4(x+1)=2(3−x)
Calculate
More Steps

Evaluate
4(x+1)
Apply the distributive property
4x+4×1
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
4x+4
4x+4=2(3−x)
Calculate
More Steps

Evaluate
2(3−x)
Apply the distributive property
2×3−2x
Multiply the numbers
6−2x
4x+4=6−2x
Move the expression to the left side
4x+4−(6−2x)=0
Calculate the sum or difference
More Steps

Add the terms
4x+4−(6−2x)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
4x+4−6+2x
Add the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
4x+2x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(4+2)x
Add the numbers
6x
6x+4−6
Subtract the numbers
6x−2
6x−2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
6x=0+2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
6x=2
Divide both sides
66x=62
Divide the numbers
x=62
Solution
x=31
