\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



\huge\text{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}
