Let's solve your equation step-by-step.4(x+1)+8=24
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation. 4(x+1)+8=24
Simplify: (Show steps) (4)(x)+(4)(1)+8=24 (Distribute) 4x+4+8=24(4x)+(4+8)=24(Combine Like Terms) 4x+12=244x+12=24
Step 2: Subtract 12 from both sides. 4x+12−12=24−124 x=12
Step 3: Divide both sides by 4.4x4=124 x=3
