Question

What is the solution to 2(6x + 1) - 3x = 10 -(x - 2)?

Answer 1

Answer:

x= 1

Explanation:

kinda hard to describe but...

2(6x +1) -3x becomes= 12x +2 -3x  (because 2x6 =12 and 2x1= 2)

10- (x-2) becomes= 10- x +2 (because youre subracting a negaitve it becomes positive)

then both of the positve 2s on each side of the equals cancel out leaving:

12x-3x= 10-x

then subract 3x from 12x to make your equation: 9x= 10- x

then add x to both sides of the equation making it: 10x= 10

finally, divide both sides of the equation by 10 (number with variable)

and your final answer will be x= 1 since 10/10 is 1
