30=2(x+4x) equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
30 = 2*(x+4*x)
Expand brackets in the right part
30 = 2*x+2*4*x
Looking for similar summands in the right part:
30 = 10*x
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$0 = 10 x - 30$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\left(-10\right) x = -30$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -10
x = -30 / (-10)
We get the answer: x = 3
