Distribute 2(x-1) =3(x-4) 2x -2 =3 (x-4) Distribute 2x-2 =3 (x-4) 2x-2=3x-12 Add 2 both sides of the equation 2x-2=3x-12 2x-2+2=3x-12+2 Simplify 2x=3x-10 Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation 2x=3x -10 2x -3x =3x -10 -3x Simplify -x=-10 Divide both sides of the equation by the same term -x=-10 -x/-1 / -1 / -10/-1 Simplify X=10 Answer : x=10
