Solve the equation. 2(3x+5)=46 (1 point) Responses 4 4 5 5 6 6 7

1 answer

To solve the equation 2(3x+5)=46, we will first distribute the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses:

2 * 3x + 2 * 5 = 46

Simplifying this equation, we get:

6x + 10 = 46

Next, we will subtract 10 from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable:

6x + 10 - 10 = 46 - 10

Simplifying further:

6x = 36

To solve for x, we will now divide both sides of the equation by 6:

6x/6 = 36/6

Simplifying this equation, we get:

x = 6

Therefore, the solution to the equation 2(3x+5)=46 is x = 6.
