Question

Imagine you are teaching a fellow student how to solve:
2(x + 6) − 10 = 12 + 4(x − 1)

In your own words, explain the process for solving this equation. Please include your work at each step of the process along with the final answer.

Answer 1

solve the brackets first

Answer 2

in the case of \[2(x+6)\]you just multiply 2 with x and 6
so it becomes 2x+12

Answer 3

same applies with 4(x-1), this becomes 4x-4

Answer 4

now we just group like terms
2x+12-10=12+4x-4

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

Answer 5

-6=2x

x=-6/2

Answer 6

x=-3
