Answer:

x = 4

Explanation:

2(3x - 5) = 2x + 6

expand- 2(3x-5):6x+10

6x-10= 2x+6

Add 10 to both sides

6x-10+10=2x+6+10

simplify

6x=2x+16

subtract 2x from both sides

6x-2x=2x+16-2x

simplify

4x=16

divide both sides by 4

4x/4=16/4

x=4

Answer:

x = 4

Explanation:

Given

2(3x - 5) = 2x + 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

3x - 5 = x + 3 ( subtract x from both sides )

2x - 5 = 3 ( add 5 to both sides )

2x = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 4
