Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the equation first, 2/3(3x+6)=10

Distribute 2,  2(3x+6)/2

Which equals 6x+12/3=10

Then multiply 3 from both sides 6x+12=30

Subtract 12

6x=18

Divide 6 from both sides

x=3

Answer:

  3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number. The problem statement tells you ...

2/3(3x +6) = 10

  2x +4 = 10 . . . . . . use the distributive property

  x +2 = 5 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

  x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 3

The number is 3.

__

<em>Comment on the solution</em>

The above shows an "alternative" solution method. The more usual way this might be done is ...

  2(3x +6) = 30 . . . . . multiply by 3 to clear fractions

  6x +12 = 30 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  6x = 18 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12

  x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
