Question

What is x
4(2x + 3) - 2 =6

Answer 1

→4(2x + 3) - 2 =6

→8x+6-2=6

→8x+4=6

→8x=6-4

→8x=2

→x=2/8=1/4

Answer 2

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\mathsf{4(2x + 3) - 2 = 6}`

`\mathsf{4(2x) + 4(3) - 2 = 6}`

`\mathsf{8x + 12 - 2 = 6}`

`\mathsf{8x + 10 = 6}`

`\large\text{SUBTRACT 10 to BOTH SIDES}`

`\mathsf{8x + 10 - 10= 6 - 10}`

`\large\text{Simplify it}`

`\mathsf{8x = 6 - 10}`

`\mathsf{8x = -4}`

`\large\text{DIVIDE 8 to BOTH SIDES}`

`\mathsf{(8x)/(8) = (-4)/(8)}`

`\large\text{Simplify it}`

`\mathsf{x = (-4)/(8)}`

`\mathsf{x = (-4 / 4)/(8/ 4)}`

`\mathsf{x = -(1)/(2)}`

`\huge\text{Thus, your answer should be: }\huge\boxed{{\mathsf{x = -(1)/(2)}}}}\huge\checkmark`
