SOLUTION: 2(t-3)+2=2(2t-6). The answer I got was -4, but the answer in the book is 4. What am I doing wrong. Could you please show me the distribution/elimination for this equation.

Question 56722: 2(t-3)+2=2(2t-6). The answer I got was -4, but the answer in the book is 4. What am I doing wrong. Could you please show me the distribution/elimination for this equation.
Thank you very much. Answer by funmath(2933) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2(t-3)+2=2(2t-6)
2(t)+2(-3)+2=2(2t)+2(-6)
2t-6+2=4t-12
2t-4=4t-12 Notice I move the smallest coefficient of t, to avoid problems with signs. Maybe that will help you.
-2t+2t-4=-2t+4t-12
-4=2t-12
12-4=2t-12+12
8=2t
8/2=2t/2
4=t
Happy Calculating!!!
