Follow the steps to solve this equation. 3 (2x + 6) - 4x = 2 (5x - 2) + 6. solve for x

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

3 (2x + 6) - 4x = 2 (5x - 2) + 6

Distributive property

6x + 18 - 4x = 10x - 4 + 6

Combine like terms

2x + 18 = 10x + 2

Subtract 10x from both sides

-8x + 18 = 2

Subtract 18 from both sides

-8x = - 16

Divide both sides by - 8

x = 2
