Answer 1

Hello!

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property: →
`a(b+c)=ab+ac`

Expand.

`4(x-1)=4x-4`

`4x-4=2x+6`

Add by 4 from both sides of an equation.

`4x-4+4=2x+6+4`

Simplify.

`4x=2x+10`

Then you subtract by 2x from both sides of an equation.

`4x-2x=2x+10-2x`

Simplify.

`2x=10`

You can also divide by 2 from both sides of an equation.

`(2x)/(2)=(10)/(2)`

Finally simplify.

`10/2=5`

`10/5=2`

`5*2=10`

`2*5=10`

Answer: →
`\boxed{x=5}`

Hope this helps!

Thanks!
