Q. Solve for x \mathrm{x} .\newline2(3x+4)x+2=5 2(3 x+4)-x+2=5 \newlineAnswer:
  1. Distribute and Simplify: First, distribute the 22 into the terms inside the parentheses.2(3x+4)x+2=52(3x + 4) - x + 2 = 56x+8x+2=56x + 8 - x + 2 = 5
  2. Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms on the left side of the equation.\newline(6xx)+(8+2)=5(6x - x) + (8 + 2) = 5\newline5x+10=55x + 10 = 5
  3. Isolate Variable: Subtract 1010 from both sides to isolate the term with the variable xx. \newline5x+1010=5105x + 10 - 10 = 5 - 10\newline5x=55x = -5
  4. Solve for x: Divide both sides by 55 to solve for x.\newline5x5=55\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{-5}{5}\newlinex=1x = -1
