<PRE><B>Question 107706</B>
Solve.     –3(x + 6) + 6x = 7x – 10

-3(x + 6) + 6x = 7x - 10
 -3x - 18 + 6x = 7x - 10
   3x - 18 = 7x - 10
      + 18      + 18
      3x = 7x + 8
     -7x  -7x
      (-4x) / (-4) = (8) / (-4)
          x = -2



Check

-3(-2 + 6) + 6(-2) = 7(-2) - 10
 6 - 18 - 12 = -14 - 10
  -12 - 12= -14 - 10
    -24 = -24
