Question

Solve the following equation. 10x-2-6x=2(2x-1)

Answer 1

10x-2-6x=2(2x-1)

10-6x (combine like terms)

2•2x, 2•1 (distribute)

4x-2=4x-2

-4x = -4x

-2 = -2
All Real Numbers

Answer 2

Answer:

It's the Identity Equation (x ∈ R). All real numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

10x - 2 - 6x = 2(2x - 1)            use the distributive property a(b + c) = ab + ac

(10x - 6x) - 2 = (2)(2x) + (2)(-1)

4x - 2 = 4x - 2                 subtract 4x from both sides

-2 = -2             TRUE

Conclusion: It's the Identity Equation (x ∈ R).
