Question 26376: 6x + 4(3x - 2) = 6x + 2
First I used the distributive process which broke it down to this:
6x + 12x - 8 = 6x + 2
Then I simplified the 6x and 12x which did this:
18x - 8 = 6x + 2
Then I had to get the x's on one side and the numbers on another:
18x - 6x = 12x
6x - 6x = 0
So the formula looked like this:
12x - 8 = 2
From here I became stuck with this. I did not know the next step. Could you please give me a hand? Thank you so much!

next step... add 8 to both sides to give 12x = 10

now divide both sides by 12 to give x = 10/12

how simplify this to give x = 5/6
