Answer 2

`x=(12)/(5)`

`x=2.4`

Explanation:

`6x+2\left(2x-3\right)=18`

Expand 2(2x-3) by applying Distributive law:

`2* \:2x-2* \:3`

Multiply:

`2* \:2x=4`

`2* \:3=6`

`4x-6`

`6x+4x-6=18`

Combine like terms:

`6x+4x=10x`

`10x-6=18`

Add 2 to both sides:

`10x-6+6=18+6`

`10x=24`

Divide both sides by 10:

`(10x)/(10)=(24)/(10)`

`x=(12)/(5)`
