How do I solve 6(x-5)=10-(x-2)

Answer 1

x equals 6

Explanation:

Simplify 6(x−5)

6x−30=10−(x−2)

Simplify 10−(x−2)

6x−30=−x+12

Move all terms containing x to the left side of the equation.

7x−30=12

Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation.

7x=42

Divide each term by 77 and simplify.

x=6
