Solve 2*left(x+1right)+7*2/2.4=4

$$\frac{ 2 \times \left( x+1 \right) +7 \cdot 2 }{ 2.4 } = 4$$

Solve for x

$$x=-3.2$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by 2.4.

$$2\left(x+1\right)+7\times 2=4\times 2.4$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+1.

$$2x+2+7\times 2=4\times 2.4$$

Multiply 7 and 2 to get 14.

$$2x+2+14=4\times 2.4$$

Add 2 and 14 to get 16.

$$2x+16=4\times 2.4$$

Multiply 4 and 2.4 to get 9.6.

$$2x+16=9.6$$

Subtract 16 from both sides.

$$2x=9.6-16$$

Subtract 16 from 9.6 to get -6.4.

$$2x=-6.4$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$x=\frac{-6.4}{2}$$

Expand \frac{-6.4}{2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{-64}{20}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-64}{20} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$x=-\frac{16}{5}$$
