Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

28−(3x+4)=2(x+6)+x

We need to use the distributive property for the right side.

28−3x−4=(2)(x)+(2)(6)+x)

28−3x−4=2x+2+x

−3x+24=3x+12

From here we need to subtract 3x from both side.

−3x+24−3x=3x+12−3x

6x+24=12

Transfer +24 on the right side.

6x=12−24

6x=−12

Finally, divide both sides by −6

6x/-6 = -12/-6

x=2
