The answer is x=2.

Step 1: First, you have to distribute the 2 to both the x and the 5 in parenthesis. 
2x+10=6x+2

Step 2: Subtract 10 from both sides of the equal sign.
2x+10=6x+2
     -10      -10
_____________

Step 3: Now, you'll end up with 2x = 6x -8. Next, subtract 6x from both sides of this equation.
2x=6x - 8
-6x -6x
_____________

Step 3: The answer to that step is -4x=-8. Now divide both sides of this equation by -4.
-4x=-8
-----------
-4     -4

-4x divided by -4 equals x and -8 divided by -4 equals 2.

So your final answer is x = 2.

*** You can check your work by plugging in the answer, 2, back into the original equation.

Check:

2(2) + 10 = 6(2) + 2
4 + 10 = 12 + 2
14 = 14

I hope this doesn't sound too confusing :)

A manufacturing company with 450 employees begins a new product line and must increase their number of employees by 18%. How man
Sonja [21]
You just multiply 450 by .18 and it'll give you the 18% you have to add to 450.
So the equation would look like:

450(.18)=81

Which you then add:

450+81= 531

So 531 is your total!
