Answer:

Explanation:

To solve for x in the equation 6x - 2 = 10, first add 2 to both sides of the equation. This clears 2 from the left side, leaving 6x by itself. Now the equation looks like this: 6x - 2 + 2 = 10 + 2. Rewrite it as: 6x = 12

Now to solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 6. This leaves x all by itself on the left side, then you have the answer. Divide both sides by 6, and the equation looks like this: 6x/6 = 12/6

The final answer is x = 12/6 = 2
