4(x + 1) + 8 = 24
how do i solve this

x = 3

First, you can multiply the 4 with the x and the 1:

4x + 4 + 8 = 24

Now, you just add the 4 and the 8 together:

4x + 12 = 24

Subtract 12 from both sides:

4x = 12

Now you divide by 4 from both sides

x = 3

^ and that's your final answer!

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+4+8=24

4x+12=24

4x=12

4x/4=12/4

(x=3)

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≥ x ≥ 40;

step-by-step explanation:

walter has to make a minimum of 20 cookies. he already has 15 cookies made, so he must make 5 more to meet the minimum.

the maximum amount of cookies he can make is 55. he already has 15, so he has to make no more than 40 more cookies to meet the maximum.
