Question

2(x + 6) − 10 = 12 + 4(x − 1)
Can someone explain to me how to do this equation

Answer 1

2(x+6)-10=12+4(x-1)

First, lets take the forst half of the equation.
2(x+6)-10.

Answer 2

2(x+6)-10
[(2*x)+(2*6)]-10
2x+12-10.

Answer 3

then:
12+4(x-1)
12+[(4*x)+((4*(-1))]
12+4x+-4

Answer 4

then we have:
2x+12-10=12+4x+(-4)
-2x = -2x

Answer 5

12-10= 12+2x+(-4)
-12 =-12
-10=2x+(-4)

Answer 6

-10=2x+(-4)
+04= +4
-06=2x
-03=x

Answer 7

thatas how you answer those kind of questions.
