How do I solve this equation for x?
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.2(2x+12)(23)=3283x+16=32Step 2: Subtract 16 from both sides.83x+16−16=32−1683x=16Step 3: Multiply both sides by 3/8.(38)(83x)=(38)(16)x=6Answer:x=6
Ok so it's saying 2 ( 2x + 12 ) 2/3 = 32
We need to solve for x. First we multiply 2 by everything in the parenthisis.
That leaves us with 4x + 24 2/3 = 32. Now we do 24 2/3 = 16
So 4x + 16 = 32 We need x alone so we subtract 16 from both sides, leaving us with 4x = 16 Now we divide both sides by 4
So x = 4
