I am having trouble

2 (10-13x) = - 34x+60

Simplifying 2 (10 + - 13x) = - 34x + 60

(10 * 2 + - 13x * 2) = - 34x + 60

(20 + - 26x) = - 34x + 60

Reorder the terms: 20 + - 26x = 60 + - 34x

Solving 20 + - 26x = 60 + - 34x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '34x' to each side of the equation. 20 + - 26x + 34x = 60 + - 34x + 34x

Combine like terms: - 26x + 34x = 8x 20 + 8x = 60 + - 34x + 34x

Combine like terms: - 34x + 34x = 0 20 + 8x = 60 + 0 20 + 8x = 60

Add '-20' to each side of the equation. 20 + - 20 + 8x = 60 + - 20

Combine like terms: 20 + - 20 = 0 0 + 8x = 60 + - 20 8x = 60 + - 20

Combine like terms: 60 + - 20 = 40 8x = 40

Divide each side by '8'. x = 5

Simplifying x = 5
