Answer:

The answer is (A) or 3/4.

Explanation:

By plugging in a through d, the only one that gave an acurate answer was A.

2(6-2x) - 2x = 2(5+x)-4

turns into

2(6-2[3/4]) - 2[3/4] = 2(5+[3/4]) -4

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Explanation:

In the question we're given with an equation i.e.,

And we are asked to find the value of x .

Solution :

$\longmapsto \: 2 ( 6 - 2x ) - 2x = 2 ( 5 + x ) - 4$

Step 1 : Solving parenthesis by multiplying it with 2 on both the sides :

$\longmapsto \: 12 - \bold{4x} - \bold{2x} = \bold{10} + 2x - \bold{4}$

Step 2 : Adding like terms on left hand side and subtracting like terms on right hand side :

$\longmapsto \: 12 - 6x = 2x + 6$

Step 3 : Transposing 12 to right hand side and 2x to left hand side :

$\longmapsto \: -2x - 6x = 6 - 12$

On further calculations we get :

$\longmapsto \: \cancel{ - }8x = \cancel{- }6$

Step 4 : Transposing 8 to right hand side :

$\longmapsto \: x = \frac{\cancel{6}}{\cancel{8}}$

Step 5 : Cancelling 6/8 to their simplest form :

$\longmapsto \: \pink{\boxed{x = (3)/(4) }}$

Therefore , value of x is 3/4 and it will make the equation true .
