Question

4 4 (X+3) +(x+5) =16

Answer 1

Х+3+х+5=16
2х+8=16
2х=16-8
2х=8
х=8:2
х=4

Answer 2

To solve the equation $4(X+3) + (X+5) = 16$, you can follow these steps:

1. Distribute the constants outside the parentheses to the terms inside the parentheses:

$4 \cdot X + 4 \cdot 3 + X + 5 = 16$

This simplifies to:

$4X + 12 + X + 5 = 16$

2. Combine like terms on both sides of the equation:

$4X + X + 12 + 5 = 16$

Combine the X terms and the constant terms:

$5X + 17 = 16$

3. Now, subtract 17 from both sides to isolate the variable term:

$5X + 17 - 17 = 16 - 17$

$5X = -1$

4. Finally, divide both sides by 5 to solve for X:

$5X/5 = -1/5$

$X = -1/5$

So, the solution to the equation is $X = -1/5$.
