Question 254899


{{{-6x+2-2(x+1)=6x+6}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-6x+2-2x-2=6x+6}}} Distribute.



{{{-8x+0=6x+6}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-8x=6x+6-0}}} Subtract {{{0}}} from both sides.



{{{-8x-6x=6-0}}} Subtract {{{6x}}} from both sides.



{{{-14x=6-0}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-14x=6}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(6)/(-14)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-14}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-3/7}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=-3/7}}} which approximates to {{{x=-0.429}}}.
