Question

What value of x is in the solution set of 2(3x - 1) = 4x - 6?

Answer 1

Answer:

-2.5 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply by what's in the parentheses by 2.

6x - 1 = 4x - 6

Add 6 to both sides of equation.

6x + 5 = 4x

Subtract 6x from both sides.

5 = -2x

Divide both sides by -2.

-2.5 = x

Answer 2

2(3x-1) = 4x-6?
2 times 3x = 6x and
2 times -1 = -2
So you get:

6x-2 = 4x-6
2x = 4
Simplified
x=2
