Solve for x
4x-2(x+1)=3x+10
I just need someone to explain the steps:)

x = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 2(x + 1) = 3x + 10

First, you use distribution for - 2(x + 1) to better simplify teh equation:

4x - 2x - 2 = 3x + 10

Then, you subtract 4x - 2x:

2x - 2 = 3x + 10

Next, you subtract 2x from both sides of the equation to get x on one side:

(2x - 2x) - 2 = (3x - 2x) + 10

-2 = x + 10

Finally, you subtract 10 on both sides to get your

(-2 - 10) = x (+ 10 - 10)

-12 = x

x = -12

according to this law, when unemployment goes up by 1%, gdp drops by 2%. in the question, unemployment rate goes from 2% to 5%, meaning unemployment goes up by 3%, so the gdp drops by 6%. thus the effect is a drop in gdp by 6%.
