What is 6-2 (x+3) = 10-3x

X=10

you get 10 by multiply through parentheses by - 2

eliminate the opposites

move the variable to the left collect the like terms

First do the outer bit 6-2=4. 4 (x+3) is 4*3=4X AND 4*3=12=

so 4x+12=10-3x from this we can collect like tems by putting the x on one side

4x--3x=7x+12=10

7x=10-12

7x=-2

x=-2/7=0.29
