Question

6.solve for x. show your work 3(x - 2) = x + 10

Explanation:

Step1: Expand left-hand side

$3x - 6 = x + 10$

Step2: Subtract $x$ from both sides

$3x - x - 6 = 10$
$2x - 6 = 10$

Step3: Add 6 to both sides

$2x = 10 + 6$
$2x = 16$

Step4: Divide by 2

$x = \frac{16}{2}$

Answer:

$x = 8$
