Hello!
Explanation:
Distributive property: → [tex]a(b+c)=ab+ac[/tex]
First do expand.
[tex]4(x+1)=4x+4[/tex]
Then you subtract by 4 from both sides of an equation.
[tex]4x+4-4=2x+4-4[/tex]
Simplify by equation.
[tex]4x=2x[/tex]
Next, subtract by 2x from both sides of an equation.
[tex]4x-2x=2x-2x[/tex]
Simplify.
[tex]2x=0[/tex]
You can also divide by 2 from both sides of an equation.
[tex]\frac{2x}{2}= \frac{0}{2}[/tex]
Finally, simplify by equation and dividing into the groups.
[tex]0/2=0[/tex]
Answer: → [tex]\boxed{x=0}[/tex]
Hope this helps!
