practice\nsolve each equation for x.\n1. 4(x + 4) + 2x = 52

Explanation:

Step1: Expand the expression

$$4(x + 4)+2x=52$$ $$4x+16 + 2x=52$$

Step2: Combine like - terms

$$(4x+2x)+16=52$$ $$6x+16 = 52$$

Step3: Isolate the term with (x)

Subtract (16) from both sides: $$6x+16-16=52 - 16$$ $$6x=36$$

Step4: Solve for (x)

Divide both sides by (6): $$\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{36}{6}$$ $$x = 6$$

Answer:

(x = 6)
