What is the solution to the help!!!!!

following equation:
2(3x - 7) + 18 = 10
-
0 1
03
3
5
6

Answer 1

`x = 1`

Explanation:

Step 1

Simplify both sides of the equation

`2(3x - 7) + 18 = 10`

Distribute

`(2)(3x) + (2)( - 7) + 18 = 10 \\ 6x + - 14 + 18 = 10`

Combine like terms

`(6x) + ( - 14 + 18) = 10`

`6x + 4 = 10`

Step 2

Subtract 4 from both sides

`6x + 4 - 4 = 10 - 4`

`6x = 6`

Step 3

Divide both sides by 6

`(6x)/(6) = (6)/(6)`

`x = 1`

Answer 2

x = 1

Explanation:

Given:

2(3x - 7) + 18 = 10

Solution:

Subtract 18 from both sides

2(3x - 7) + 18 = 10

- 18 -18

---------------------------

2 (3x-7) = -8

Now divide both sides by 2

2 (3x-7) -8

----------- = ------------

2 2

Simplify

3x - 7 = -4

Then add 7 to both sides

3x - 7 = -4

+ 7 +7

--------------------

3x = 3

Divide both sides by 3

3x 3

----------- = ------------

3 3

x = 1

Thus, Solution : x =1
