Question 115689

{{{6x+4(3x-2)=6x+2}}} Start with the given equation




{{{6x+12x-8=6x+2}}} Distribute



{{{18x-8=6x+2}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{18x=6x+2+8}}}Add 8 to both sides



{{{18x-6x=2+8}}} Subtract 6x from both sides



{{{12x=2+8}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{12x=10}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{x=(10)/(12)}}} Divide both sides by 12 to isolate x




{{{x=5/6}}} Reduce


--------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is {{{x=5/6}}}  (which is approximately {{{x=0.833333333333333}}} in decimal form)
