Answer 2

see below for explanation:-�

Explanation:

`: \implies 6x + 2(x - 3) = 4x + x - 18`

`: \implies{6x + 2x - 6 = 4x + x - 18}`

`: \implies{8x - 6 = 5x - 18}`

• Add 6 to the both sides:-

`: \implies{8x - 6 + 6 = 5x - 18 + 6}`

`: \implies{8x = 5x - 12}`

• Subtract 5x from both sides:-

`: \implies{8x - 5x = 5x - 12 - 5x}`

`: \implies{8x - 5x = 5x - 5x - 12}`

`: \implies{3x = 0 - 12}`

`: \implies{3x = - 12}`

• Divide both sides by 3:-

`: \implies{ \displaystyle{ (3x)/(3) = ( - 12)/(3) }}`

`: \implies{x = - 4}`
