Question

How do you solve for x in `m=2(x+n)`?

Answer 1

`x = m/2 -n`

Explanation:

Write the equation as `2(x+n) = m`

You could multiply the 2 into the bracket, but in this case this is not a great idea because you will just to divide by 2 later.

Divide by 2 first to isolate the bracket which has the `x`

`(2(x+n))/2=m/2`

`x+n = m/2`

`x = m/2 -n`
