2 (x+3) = x+10 what is the value of x

X = 4

2x+6=x+10

-x. - x

x+6=10

-6. - 6

x=4

First we need to distribute that 2:

2x + 6 = x + 10

Now we need to isolate that x. Start by moving all the x values to one side by subtracting x to both sides:

2x + 6 - x = x + 10 - x

x + 6 = 10

Now move the constant to the other side:

x + 6 - 6 = 10 - 6

x = 4

Now to check our answer:

2 (4 + 3) = 4 + 10

2 * 7 = 14

14 = 14
