Computer Problem #1
Problem = 4[2x+5]-8= 36
Solution = The first step into solving this problem would be to do distributive property by multiplying 4 times 2X then 4 times 5 and you will have a problem like this:
8x + 20- 8= 36
-20 -20
Then the next step would be to subtract 20 from both sides of the equation from 36 and you should end up with this problem,:
8x – 8= 16
+8 +8
Then after completing that step, the next thing you will do will be add 8 to the 8 and the 16 and will end with this problem:
8x=24
Then you will divide both 8x and 24 by eight and you will have found the answer which
is x=3. Then to check your problem you will rewrite the entire problem and substitute the 3 for X. 8[3] +20- 8= 36. Then make sure both sides are equal.
24+20-8=36
44-8=36
36=36
