3(x – 2) – 2x = x – 6
3x-6-2x=x-6
3x-2x-x=-6+6
no x's=0
0=0

Why is there a dot before the 3?
Solve 3(x – 2) – 2x = x – 6
First: eliminate the parenthesis - multiply the outer term with the terms in the parenthesis....
3(x ) - 3(2) - 2x = x - 6
3x - 6 - 2x = x - 6
x - 6 = x - 6
Sec: add "6" to both sides....
x - 6 + 6= x - 6 + 6
x = x - 0
x = x
Third: there are an infinite amount of solutions.

3(x-2)-2x = x - 6
3x - 6 -2x= x - 6
x - 6 = x - 6
Both the Sides are same so it is an identity.
The Solution set for this is all real numbers.

the answer is
how i got it=
.3x - .6 - 2x = x - 6
subtract .3x from both sides
-.6 - 2x = .7x - 6
add 2x to both sides
-.6 = 2.7x - 6
add 6 to both sides
5.4 = 2.7x
multiply each by 10 to get rid of decimals (makes it easier)
54 = 27x
divide each side by 27
x=2
I hope i helped becuase this took me a long time
check your answer
.3 (2 - 2) -2 * 2 = 2 - 6
.6 - .6 - 4 = 2 - 6
.6 - .6 -4 = -4
cancel out the -.6's
-4 = -4
im 13 and i can figure this out!!

3(x – 2) – 2x = x – 6?
ANS: 3x-6-2x=x-6
3x-2x=x-6+6
3x-2x=x
x=x
Therefore, left hand side is equal to right hand side.

I really have no clue let me try...... x = x
3(x-2)-2x=x-6
3x-6-2x=x-6
3x-6+6-2x=x-6+6
3x-2x=x
x=x

3x-6-2x=x-6
x-6=x-6
x=x or 0=0
and im only 12!

this is impossible because x-2 does not equal x-6. then you would get 0 equals -4 which isn't true either.

You tricky, tricky white girl! (credit to Everybody Loves Raymond show). It's not nice to have someone else do your homework.

0.3x - 0.6 -2x = x - 6
-2.7x = 0.6 - 6
x = -5.4/-2.7
x = 2
