Solve the following equation: 2(x+2)=42

Question

. What is the missing value?(1 point)

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 2(x + 2) = 42 \), follow these steps:

1. Divide both sides by 2: \[ x + 2 = 21 \]

2. Subtract 2 from both sides: \[ x = 21 - 2 \] \[ x = 19 \]

The missing value is \( x = 19 \).
