Equation: 3(x – 2) + 4x = 10(x + 1)
3(x – 2) + 4x = 10(x + 1)
= 3x - 6 + 4x = 10x + 10
By adding the - 10x - 10 on both sides of equation:
= 4x + 3x - 10x - 6 - 10 = 10x + 10 - 10x - 10
= 4x + 3x - 10x - 6 - 10 = 0
= 4x -7x -16 = 0
= 3x - 16 = 0
= 3x = 16
By dividing 3 on both sides of equation:
= x = 16/3
= x = 5.333
x = 5.3333
