What is the value of x in the equation 2 (x + 3) = 4 (x minus 1)?
1
2
3
5

5

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute: 2x+6 = 4x-4

subtract 2x from both sides: 6 = 2x-4

add 4 to both sides: 10 = 2x

divide both sides by 2: 5 = x

x = 5

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
