Solve 3(x+x+2)=4(x+1)+30

$$3(x+x+2)=4(x+1)+30$$

Solve for x

$$x=14$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine x and x to get 2x.

$$3\left(2x+2\right)=4\left(x+1\right)+30$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 2x+2.

$$6x+6=4\left(x+1\right)+30$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x+1.

$$6x+6=4x+4+30$$

Add 4 and 30 to get 34.

$$6x+6=4x+34$$

Subtract 4x from both sides.

$$6x+6-4x=34$$

Combine 6x and -4x to get 2x.

$$2x+6=34$$

Subtract 6 from both sides.

$$2x=34-6$$

Subtract 6 from 34 to get 28.

$$2x=28$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$x=\frac{28}{2}$$

Divide 28 by 2 to get 14.

$$x=14$$
