Iwill be given 2(x + 2) + 8 = 6 solve this equation and show all work.

So distribute
2x+2+8=6
add like terms
2x+10=6
-10 -10
2x=-4

2. 2
x=-2

Step 1: distribute.
Multiply 2 time x and 2 times 2 that would give you 2x+4+8=6.

step 2: combine like terms.
Add 4 and 8 and it would give you 2x+12=6.

step 3: substract 12 in both sides.
6-12= -6 it would end up being (2x= -6).

step 4: divide 2 in both sides.
2 divided by -6 gives you -3.

x= -3
