Solve the equation below. W<br> 5x - 18 = 2(3x - 12) + 4<br> Step by step please
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need to isolate the variable, x

5x-18=2(3x-12) +4

Distribute the 2

5x-18=2*3x + 2*-12 +4

5x-18=6x-24+4

Combine like terms (add -24 and 4)

5x-18=6x-20

Add 18 to both sides

5x=6x-2

Subtract 6x from both sides

-x=-2

Divide both sides by -1

x=2
