Given the below equation;
[tex]2x+3x+2=2(x+2)+2x+2[/tex]Let's go ahead and substitute x = 4 into both sides of the equation;
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2(4)+3(4)+2=2(4+2)+2(4)+2 \\ 2(4)+3(4)+2=2(6)+2(4)+2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Using PEMDAS, our 1st step will be to take care of only items in parentheses. So, if we do that to the above equation, we'll have the below equation;
[tex]8+12+2=12+8+2[/tex]Let's go ahead and add up, we'll have;
[tex]22=22[/tex]Therefore, both sides of the given equation are equal.
