Sam is baking cakes at her parents' bakery. She gets paid $20 a week in addition to $4 for every cake she bakes. She made $60 this week. Write an equation to show how many cakes Sam baked this week. 60 + 4x = 20
20 − 4x = 60
60 − 4x = −20
20 + 4x = 60

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x
