First I will FOIL $2 (3 + x)$ . With that, I get $6 + 2 x$ .First I will FOIL $2 (3 + x)$ . With that, I get $6 + 2 x$ .

Then I will subtract 4 from the left side. $2 x + x = 8 + 6 + 2 x - 3 + 4$ Then I will subtract 4 from the left side. $2 x + x = 8 + 6 + 2 x - 3 + 4$

Now I will subtract 2x from the right side. $2 x + x + 2 x = 8 + 6 - 3 + 4$ Now I will subtract 2x from the right side. $2 x + x + 2 x = 8 + 6 - 3 + 4$

And now, for the grand finale: the combination of like terms. $5 x = 15$ And now, for the grand finale: the combination of like terms. $5 x = 15$

$15 / 5 = 3$ , therefore $x = 3$ $15 / 5 = 3$ , therefore $x = 3$ - SGuySMW (talk) 18:25, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

No peaking!

$2 x + 4 + x = 8 + 2 (3 + x) - 3$ $2 x + 4 + x = 8 + 2 (3 + x) - 3$

2x + x = 3x2x + x = 3x

$3 x + 4 = 8 + 2 (3 + x) - 3$ $3 x + 4 = 8 + 2 (3 + x) - 3$

8 - 3 = 58 - 3 = 5

$3 x + 4 = 5 + 2 (3 + x)$ $3 x + 4 = 5 + 2 (3 + x)$

3 * 2 = 6, x * 2 = 2x3 * 2 = 6, x * 2 = 2x

$3 x + 4 = 5 + 6 + 2 x$ $3 x + 4 = 5 + 6 + 2 x$

5 + 6 = 115 + 6 = 11

$3 x + 4 = 11 + 2 x$ $3 x + 4 = 11 + 2 x$

3x - 2x = x3x - 2x = x

$x + 4 = 11$ $x + 4 = 11$

11 - 4 = 711 - 4 = 7

$x = 7$ $x = 7$

X is 7! Now where is my cute okin plush...X is 7! Now where is my cute okin plush...

Have you peaked? I hope not... Jurta ^talk/_he/they 18:27, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Pseudosphere's attempt

$2 x + 4 + x = 8 + 2 (3 + x) - 3$ (initial statement) $2 x + 4 + x = 8 + 2 (3 + x) - 3$ (initial statement)
$3 x + 4 = 11 + 2 x$ (distribute the $2$ ; combine like terms) $3 x + 4 = 11 + 2 x$ (distribute the $2$ ; combine like terms)
$x = 7$ (subtract $2 x$ and $4$ from both sides) $x = 7$ (subtract $2 x$ and $4$ from both sides) --⁠Pseudosphere (talk) 18:50, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
