What is 6 (x+3) = 2 (2x+5)

x = - 4;

Step-by-step explanation:

6 (x+3) = 2 (2x+5)

Distribution

6x+18 = 4x + 10

Subtract 4x on both sides

2x+18 = 10

Subtract 18 on both sides

2x = - 8

Divided by 2

x = - 4

Now if we have to substitute the value of X

6 (-4+3) = 2 (-8+5)

Parenthesis first

6 (-1) = 2 (-3)

-6 = - 6
