Question

My question is

6( 2x - 3)-8=-2

Answer 1

x = 2

Explanation:

1. Apply the distributed property: 12x - 18 - 8 = -2
2. Combine like terms: 12x - 26 = -2
3. Add 26 to each side, so it now looks like this: 12x = 24
4. Divide each side by 12 to cancel out the 12 next to x. It should now look like this: x = 2

I hope this helps!
