2(x+3)=8x-8-6(3x-3)
2006-10-09 04:31:38 · 5 answers · asked by Anonymous in Education & Reference ➔ Homework Help
Distribute the "2" and the "-6"
2(x+3) = 8x - 8 -6(3x-3)
2x + 6 = 8x - 8 -18x + 18
Combine like terms:
2x + 6 = -10x +10
Move the x's to the left side and constants to the right side:
2x +10x = 10 - 6
12x = 4
x = 4/12
x = 1/3
Good luck in your classes.

2(x+3)=8x-6(3x-3)
2x+6=8x-8-18x+18
2x+6=-10x+10
2x+10x=10-6
12x=4
devide bpth sides by -8
x=1/3

is soooo easy...
2x+6=8x-8-18x+18
2x+6=-10x+10
2x+10x=10-6
12x=4
x=1/3
