Hello!
Explanation:
Distributive property: → [tex]a(b+c)=ab+ac[/tex]
Expand.
[tex]4(x-1)=4x-4[/tex]
[tex]4x-4=2x+6[/tex]
Add by 4 from both sides of an equation.
[tex]4x-4+4=2x+6+4[/tex]
Simplify.
[tex]4x=2x+10[/tex]
Then you subtract by 2x from both sides of an equation.
[tex]4x-2x=2x+10-2x[/tex]
Simplify.
[tex]2x=10[/tex]
You can also divide by 2 from both sides of an equation.
[tex]\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{10}{2}[/tex]
Finally simplify.
[tex]10/2=5[/tex]
[tex]10/5=2[/tex]
[tex]5*2=10[/tex]
[tex]2*5=10[/tex]
Answer: → [tex]\boxed{x=5}[/tex]
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
