Answer

The solution to the equation is x = 4.

Step-by-step explanation

We are told to find the solution to the equation

2x + 2(x - 5) = 6

The first step is to open the bracket by multiplying through by the number outside the bracket, that is, 2.

2x + 2x - 10 = 6

4x - 10 = 6

Add 10 to both sides to leave only 4x on the Left Hand Side.

4x - 10 + 10 = 6 + 10

4x = 16

Divide both sides by 4 to obtain the value of x.

(4x/4) = (16/4)

x = 4

Hope this Helps!!!
