Lamar Steele · Answer 1

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute - 2 to x and positive 3 ... - 2x-6=-10

isolate the variable, + 6 on both sides ... - 2x=-4

get the variable alone, divide - 2 on both sides ... x=2

Daniella Arias · Answer 2

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 (x + 3) = - 10

-2x - 6 = - 10

2x + 6 = 10

2x = 10 - 6

2x = 4

x = 4/2

x = 2
