Question

$$2 ( x - 1 ) = x + 2$$

Solve for x

$x=4$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $2$ by $x-1$.

$$2x-2=x+2$$

Subtract $x$ from both sides.

$$2x-2-x=2$$

Combine $2x$ and $-x$ to get $x$.

$$x-2=2$$

Add $2$ to both sides.

$$x=2+2$$

Add $2$ and $2$ to get $4$.

$$x=4$$
