From step 1 to step 2 they distributed the 2 (multiplied the inner numbers of the parentheses) From step 2 to step 3 they added 6x to both sides,canceling out the -6x on the left side and adding 6x with the 5x From step 3 to step 4 they subtracted 2 from both sides, canceling it out on the right side and subtracting 2 from 8 to get 6 From step 4 to step 5 they try and get x alone by dividing both sides by 11, canceling out the 11 on the right side and leaving a fraction the left Leaving you with your answer of what x equals in the final step Hope this helps!!
