Question

28 + (3x - 2) + 28 = 6x

Answer 1

28 + (3x -2) + 28 = 6x
28+ (3x -3x -2) + 28 = 6x - 3x
28+ (-2) + 28 = 3x
28 - 2 + 28 = 3x
26 + 28 = 3x
54 = 3x
18 = x

Answer 2

Hello there!

28 + (3x - 2) + 28 = 6x


Answer: x = 18
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation: 


First, let's  combine like-terms.

28 + 28 = 56

Now, we have 56 + (3x - 2) = 6x 

Let's subtract 56 from each side to get rid of those parentheses.

56 + (3x - 2) = 6x 
-56                 -56

Now, we have 3x - 2 = 6x - 56

Let's add 2 to each side

3x - 2 = 6x - 56
+2              +2

3x = 6x - 54

Now, we will subtract 6x from each side

3x = 6x - 54
-6x   -6x

We now have -3x = -54

let's multply each side by -1 to make x a postive number.

-3x = -54
*-1     *-1

We have 3x = 54

Now, we must divide each side by 3 

3x = 54
--     ----
3      3

Our answer is x = 18
