Question

Julie started solving the equation 3x = 4+2(3 - x).
Which is a correct next step?

Answer 1

The correct next step is simplifying 2(3-x) by multiplying 2 inside

Step-by-step explanation:

We will solve the equation step by step

Given

3x = 4+2(3 - x)

Multiplying 2 inside bracket

$3x=4+2.3-2.x\\3x=4+6-2x\\3x=10-2x$

Adding 2x on both sides

$3x+2x=10-2x+2x\\5x=10$

Dividing both sides by 5

$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{10}{5}\\x=2$

The correct next step is simplifying 2(3-x) by multiplying 2 inside
