For which value of x is the equation 2(1 + x) = x + 3 true?

A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) 4

I think it is c.

You think it is 3? Did you actually solve the equation to determine what it really is?

Better yet, does the value 3 work in the equation?

2(1+3) ≠ 3+3
Bzzzt. Now it's time to do the math:

2(1 + x) = x + 3
2+2x = x+3
...

Now what do you think?

Sorry I did not understand the question probably.The answer is 1 because, 2(1 +1) = 1+ 3 and both equals 4. Thank you!

To find the value of x that makes the equation 2(1 + x) = x + 3 true, we can start by simplifying the equation:

2(1 + x) = x + 3

Distribute 2 to the terms inside the parentheses:

2 + 2x = x + 3

Next, let's isolate the variable x by moving all the terms containing x to one side of the equation and the constant terms to the other side:

2x - x = 3 - 2

Simplify:

x = 1

Therefore, the value of x that makes the equation true is 1. So the correct answer is A) 1.
