Question

Solve for x: 4(x-2)+6=2(5x-6)

Answer 1

4(x - 2) + 6 = 2(5x - 6)     use distributive property

(4)(x) + (4)(-2) + 6 = (2)(5x) + (2)(-6)

4x - 8 + 6 = 10x - 12

4x - 2 = 10x - 12       add 2 to both sides

4x = 10x - 10       subtract 10 from both sides

-6x = -10      divide both sides by (-6)

x = 10/6

x = 5/3
