4(5x+3)−2x+2=

32

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 4(5x + 3) - 2x + 2 = 32 \), we will first simplify the left side of the equation step by step.

  1. Distribute the \( 4 \) in \( 4(5x + 3) \):

    \[ 4 \cdot 5x + 4 \cdot 3 = 20x + 12 \]

    So the equation now looks like:

    \[ 20x + 12 - 2x + 2 = 32 \]

  2. Combine like terms on the left side:

    \[ (20x - 2x) + (12 + 2) = 18x + 14 \]

    Now our equation is:

    \[ 18x + 14 = 32 \]

  3. Next, we isolate \( x \) by subtracting \( 14 \) from both sides:

    \[ 18x = 32 - 14 \]

    \[ 18x = 18 \]

  4. Finally, divide both sides by \( 18 \):

    \[ x = \frac{18}{18} \]

    \[ x = 1 \]

Thus, the solution to the equation is:

\[ \boxed{1} \]
