4(2x - 1) = 3x + 6 Solve for x. Show steps with sentences supporting each step.

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

4(2x - 1) = 3x + 6

Simplify

8x - 4 = 3x + 6

Subtract 3x from both sides

8x - 3x - 4 = 3x - 3x + 6

5x - 4 = 6

Add 4 to both sides

5x - 4 + 4 = 6 + 4

5x = 10

Divide both sides by 5

5x/5 = 10/5

x = 2

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
