Answer 2

x= 1

Explanation:

3(6x-2)= -2(4x-9)+2

Distribute into the parenthesis.

18x-6= -8x+18+2

Simplify the equation.

18x-6= -8x+20

Move the variable to both sides. To do that, add 8x to both sides.

18x-6 = -8x+20

+8x +8x

Once the variable is moved to one side, add 6 to both sides.

26x-6= 20

+6 +6

Then, divide both sides by 26.

26x= 26

26 26

x= 1
