5) What value of x makes this equation true (Show your work) ?

4 (3x - 7) = 36 + 4x

The answer = 8 and the work goes as the following

you multiply the 4 outside the brackets by the numbers inside so it becomes:

12x-28=36+4x

and then you bring the like terms together

12x-4x=28+36

12-4=8 so

8x=64

and then you divide by 8 so

x=64 divided by 8

x=8
