Simply
6(2x + 1) = 2(5x + 2)
18

x=−1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

6(2x+1)=2(5x+2)

(6)(2x)+(6)(1)=(2)(5x)+(2)(2)(Distribute)

12x+6=10x+4

Step 2: Subtract 10x from both sides.

12x+6−10x=10x+4−10x

2x+6=4

Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides.

2x+6−6=4−6

2x=−2

Step 4: Divide both sides by 2.

x=−1

step-by-step explanation:

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
