Answer:


\sf \large \: x=−1

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4(x+3)−2=6

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4(x+3)−2=6

(4)(x)+(4)(3)+−2=6(Distribute)

4x+12+−2=6

(4x)+(12+−2)=6(Combine Like Terms)

4x+10=6

4x+10=6

Step 2: Subtract 10 from both sides.

4x+10−10=6−10

4x=−4

Step 3: Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4 = −4/4

x=−1
