Answer:

x = 9

Explanation:

2(x+10)+2(3x)-8 Distribute

2x+20=6x-16 Subtract like terms

20=4x-16 Add 16 on both sides since it negative

36=4x Divide 4 on both sides

x=9

Answer:

x=9

Explanation:

we can start by using the distributive property

so then

2x+20=6x-16

we now need to move the variables to one side and the numbers to the other

-4x=-36

x=9
