Answer
The solution to the equation is x = 4.
Explanation
We are told to find the solution to the equation
2x + 2(x - 5) = 6
The first step is to open the bracket by multiplying through by the number outside the bracket, that is, 2.
2x + 2x - 10 = 6
4x - 10 = 6
Add 10 to both sides to leave only 4x on the Left Hand Side.
4x - 10 + 10 = 6 + 10
4x = 16
Divide both sides by 4 to obtain the value of x.
(4x/4) = (16/4)
x = 4
Hope this Helps!!!
