Question

Can someone solve 2(x-1)=10?

Answer 1

$2(x-1)= 10$ distributhing 2 through parantheses
$2x-2=10$
$2x=10+2$
$2x=12$  divide by 2
$x= \frac{12}{2}$ simplify
$x=6$
The answer is:6 
  

Answer 2

2(x - 1) = 10

First, divide both sides by 2. / Your problem should look like: $x - 1 = \frac{10}{2}$
Second, simplify $\frac{10}{2}$ to 5. / Your problem should look like: $x - 1 = 5$
Third, add 1 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: $x = 5 + 1$
Fourth, add 5 + 1 to get 6. / Your problem should look like: $x = 6$

Answer: x = 6
