Reorder
4(x + 2)=16
Distribute 4 to both x and 2
Rewrite the equation as 4x+8=16
Subtract 8 on both sides
Divide both sides by 4
Check answer is x = 2

LINEAR EQUATIONS
Some of the expressions in the last problem are linear expressions. A linear expression is an expression that can be written as the sum or difference of expressions that consist of either a number, a variable, or the product of a number and a variable.
A number in a linear expression is called a constant term. A variable or the product of a number and a variable is called a linear term.
