What do x equal-2(x+5)=4

x=-7

Because -2 times x makes it -2x and times 5 makes it 10 so it would be -2x-10. you add 10 to get rid of the it and add ten to the 4 now it’s -2x=14 now you divide by -2 and it’ll equal x=-7

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10
