Solve for x. 3 (6x-2) = -2 (4x-9) + 2

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

3 (6x-2) = - 2 (4x-9) + 2

Distribute into the parenthesis.

18x-6 = - 8x+18+2

Simplify the equation.

18x-6 = - 8x+20

Move the variable to both sides. To do that, add 8x to both sides.

18x-6 = - 8x+20

+8x + 8x

Once the variable is moved to one side, add 6 to both sides.

26x-6 = 20

+6 + 6

Then, divide both sides by 26.

26x = 26

26 26

x = 1
