Solve: X= 4+(4x-4)
0 x = 2
O x = 10
x = 2 or x = 10
o no real solution

x = 0

Explanation:

To solve, simplify, then isolate "x" (bring all "x" to the left).

x = 4 + (4x - 4)                Remove brackets

x = 4 + 4x - 4                 Collect like terms

x = 4 - 4 + 4x                  4 - 4 = 0, or nothing

x = 4x                             Bring "x" to the left

x - 4x = 4x - 4x              Subtract 4x on both sides

-3x = 0                           Get rid of multiplying by "-3".

      Divide both sides by -3

x = 0

Check the

Substitute x = 0 into the original equation. Remember to follow BEDMAS order.

x = 4 + (4x - 4)

0 = 4 + (4*0 - 4)        Solve multiplication in brackets first

0 = 4 + (0 - 4)            Subtract inside brackets

0 = 4 + (-4)                Adding a negative is the same as subtracting

0 = 4 - 4                    Subtract

0 = 0                         Same answer

LS = RS                     Left side equals right side

This solution is correct.

the correct answer option is: weapons.

explanation:

tensions rose as the two opposing superpowers competed for 'weapons'.

referring to the cold war (1945-1991), the two superpowers, usa and ussr, experienced a phase of struggle and conflict with each other. these two superpowers considered each other as a threat to their survival and thus opted for policies to strengthen their positions.

the two superpowers never went to war with each other directly but competed for weapons to preserve their positions.
