Answer: x = 4
Explanation:
Let's first look at the equation!
5x-2(2x-1)=6
First thing you do is the -2(2x-1) to break the ( )
So, -2*2x = -4x and -2*-1 = 2
So now we have 5x-4x+2=6
Then you see that there are 2 like terms?
Like terms: the terms that contain the same variable which is raised to the same power.
You can do 5x-4x = 1x!
Now we have 1x+2=
Now we do -2 to get rid of the 2!
We will get 1x=4
Now we divide!
1x divided by 1 giving you x!
and 4 divided by 1 giving you
x = 4!
