Question

6x+2(x+3)=10 solve for x also can you show how you get to the answer im so confused

Answer 1

First, distribute 2 to x+3:

6x + 2x + 6 = 10

Now, Combine like terms:

8x + 6 = 10

Now, subtract 6 from both sides:

8x + 6 = 10
     -6      -6
8x       = 4

Now, divide each side by 8:

x = 4/8 = 1/2

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Distribute 2 to x and 3
> 6x + 2x + 6 = 10
add 6x and 2x
> 8x + 6 = 10
subtract 6 to the right side
8x = 4
divide by 8
x = 1/2
