Answer:

You are distributing (multiplying) the three to all the terms in the parentheses.

Start:

3(x-2) = 4x + 2

Next:

3x - 6 = 4x +2

After that simplify:

-8 = x

Hope this helps!

Answer:

  • 3x - 6 = 4x + 2
  • x = -8

Explanation:

Now we have to,

→ Find the required value of x.

The property we use,

Distributive property.

The equation is,

→ 3(x - 2) = 4x + 2

Then the value of x will be,

→ 3(x - 2) = 4x + 2

→ 3(x) - 3(2) = 4x + 2

3x - 6 = 4x + 2

→ 3x - 4x = 2 + 6

→ -x = 8

→ [ x = -8 ]

Hence, the value of x is -8.
