Answer 6

you can't go from 6 = 3(x-2) to 4 = 3x because

a) the -2 is not on the side with the 6

b) the -2 is buried in the parenthesis

Answer 7

So what do i do then?

Answer 8

you first need to distribute

6 = 3(x-2)

6 = 3x-6

Answer 9

whats next?

Answer 10

move -6 to the other side making it +6 so 12=3x so 4=x
