Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

Key Info

When solving equations, you should always focus on isolating the variable.


\hspace{370}\above0.3

Our equation is:


\rm{2(5x+3)=4x+18}

First off, we will apply the distributive property on the left:


\rm{10x+6=4x+18}

Subtract 4x from both sides:


\rm{6x+6=18}

Subtract 6 from both sides:


\rm{6x=12}

Lastly, divide both sides by 6:


\rm{x=2}
