Question
Use the distributive property to solve the equation 28- (3x+4)= 2(x+6)+x
Hint:
○ Distributive property
a 
( b + c) = ab + ac
○ Then perform basic arithmatic operations to get value of x.
The correct answer is: x = 2.
○ Given:
28- (3x+4)= 2(x+6)+x
○ Step 1:
○ Use distributive property
○ a ( b + c) = ab + ac
28- (3x+4)= 2(x+6)+x
28 - 3x - 4 = 2x + 12 + x
28 - 12 - 4 = 2x + x + 3x
12 = 6x
x = 
x = 2
- Final Answer:
x = 2.
