Question

Given: 2 ( x + 3)-8=10
Prove: x = 6

Answer 1

2x +6-8=10
2x= 10-6+8
2x= 12
X = 12\2
X= 6

Answer 2

x=6

Explanation:

2(x+3)-8=10

use 2 to multiply the one in the bracket

(2x+6)-8=10

group like terms

2x-2=10

send all constant terms to one side of the equation

2x=10+2

2x=12

divide both side by the coefficient of x

2x/2=12/2

x=6
