2x+4 (2x+7) = 3 (2x+4)

What is x

x = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+4 (2x+7) = 3 (2x+4)

2x + 8x + 28 = 6x + 12

10x + 28 = 6x + 12

4x = - 16

x = - 4

x = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+4 (2x+7) = 3 (2x+4)

Distribute

2x+8x + 28 = 6x + 12

Combine like terms

10x + 28 = 6x + 12

Subtract 6x from each side

10-6x+28 = 6x + 12 - 6x

4x + 28 = 12

Subtract 28 from each side

4x+28-28 = 12-28

4x = - 16

Divide each side by 4

4x/4 = - 16/4

x = - 4
