Answer:


\boxed {x = (13)/(4)}

Explanation:

Solve for the value of
x:


(2x - 4) - 2 = 1 - 2(x - 3)

-Subtract 2 from
4:


(2x - 4) - 2 = 1 - 2(x - 3)


2x - 6 = 1 - 2(x - 3)

-Use Distributive Property:


2x - 6 = 1 - 2(x - 3)


2x - 6 = 1 - 2x - 6

-Add
2x to both sides:


2x - 6 + 2x = 1 - 2x + 2x - 6


4x - 6 = 7

-Add both sides by
6:


4x - 6 + 6 = 7 + 6


4x = 13

-Divide both sides by
4:


(4x)/(4) = (13)/(4)


\boxed {x = (13)/(4)}

Therefore, the value of
x is
(13)/(4).
