If 3(x+2) = 4, what is x?

Step 1: Get rid of the bracket --- 3 * x and 3*2 which makes the left side 3x + 6 /// Step 2: Isolate x on one side --- move the 6 to the other side of the equals sign, taking it away from the 4, which makes the equation 3x = -2 /// Step 3: Find x on its own --- divide both sides of the equation by 3, giving the final answer x = -(2/3) /-/-/-/-/-/ Solution Steps: 3(x+2) = 4 /// 3x + 6 = 4 /// 3x = -2 /// x = -(2/3)
