Question

Can someone solve 2(x-1)=10?

Answer 1

`2(x-1)= 10` distributhing 2 through parantheses

`2x-2=10`

`2x=10+2`

`2x=12` divide by 2

`x= (12)/(2)` simplify

`x=6`
The answer is:6

Answer 2

2(x - 1) = 10

First, divide both sides by 2. / Your problem should look like:
`x - 1 = (10)/(2)`
Second, simplify
`(10)/(2)` to 5. / Your problem should look like:
`x - 1 = 5`
Third, add 1 to both sides. / Your problem should look like:
`x = 5 + 1`
Fourth, add 5 + 1 to get 6. / Your problem should look like:
`x = 6`

Answer: x = 6
