2(3x-4) = 5x+6
First, expand the bracket.
6x-8=5x+6
Next, move the variables to the same side.
x-8=6
Move the -8 to the other side, change to +
x=6+8
x=14
Charlie’s solution is incorrect. When expanding the bracket, he changed the - to a +.

I believe it would be addition property of equality since you can add 14 and 8 to recieve the number that the 8 is being subtracted from to get 14. So in this case x would equal 22.
