Solve each linear equation. See Examples 1–3. 2 [x - (4 + 2x) + 3] = 2x + 2

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Start by simplifying the expression inside the brackets on the left side: \(x - (4 + 2x) + 3\). Remember to distribute the negative sign across the terms inside the parentheses.

Rewrite the left side after simplification, then multiply the entire bracketed expression by 2 as indicated by the coefficient outside the brackets.

Set the simplified left side equal to the right side of the equation, which is \(2x + 2\).

Collect like terms on each side of the equation to isolate the variable terms on one side and constants on the other side.

Solve for \(x\) by dividing both sides of the equation by the coefficient of \(x\) to find the value of the variable.
