Your equation states 2+34 = 4(x+5)
Let us solve the second part of the equation so it'll be even.
4(x+5)
When parentheses touch a number like that it means you need to multiply the number that the parentheses are touching, by the number(s) inside.
4 × x = 4x
4 × 5 = 20
Now let us restate the equation.
2 + 34 = 4x + 20
Now let us add the first part of the equation
2 + 34 would equal 36
36 = 4x + 20
Lets subtract 20 from each side
36 = 4x + 20
-20 -20
36 - 20 = 16
20 - 20 = 0
Now let us restate the equation
16 = 4x
Divide 4 from both sides
16 = 4x
16 ÷ 4 = 4
4x ÷ 4 = x
You're answer would be,
x = 4
Hope this helped! :D
