Hi . Please show workings Solve for x in : 2(x+4)=50

Simplifying

2(x + 4) = 50

Reorder the terms:

2(4 + x) = 50

(4 * 2 + x * 2) = 50

(8 + 2x) = 50

Solving

8 + 2x = 50

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.

8 + -8 + 2x = 50 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0

0 + 2x = 50 + -8

2x = 50 + -8

Combine like terms: 50 + -8 = 42

2x = 42

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 21

Simplifying

x = 21

This took a long time to type and i think it is wrong but hope this helps. hint, hint.
