Answer:

Explanation:
Step 1. Put each term in
over the common denominator 2.

Therefore we have

Step 2.
Combine
into a single fraction.
Therefore we have
or

Step 3.
Multiply both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.
Multiply both sides of
by 2:

Step 4.
Cancel the common terms in the numerator and denominator of

Then we get
which simplifies to

So all together we have

Step 5.
Multiply 2 and 4 together and remove the parenthesis.

Step 6.
Isolate terms with the variable x to the left hand side.
So add 1 to both sides:

Evaluate
which cancels out
Step 7.
Add the like terms on the right side:

Step 8.
Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.
Divide both sides of
by 6.

Any non-zero number divided by itself is 1.
which simplifies to
