What is the solution to 2 (6x + 1) - 3x = 10 - (x - 2) ?

x=1

Step-by-step explanation: first distribute 2 to (6x + 1) and get 12x + 2 then subtract that by 3x and get 9x + 1, next distribute - 1 to (x - 2) and you will get - x and 2 (a negative times a negative equals a positive). Then add 2 (on the side of with the - x) to 10 and get 12. Add - x to the other side (so to the 9x) and get 10x. 10x + 2-2 = 12-2 Then subtract 2 by 12 and you get 10. Divide both sides by 10 10x/10 = 10/10 x=1.

Check answer

Plug 1 in as all x's. 2 (6 (1) + 1) - 3 (1) = 10 - (1-2). First add (6 + 1) and get (7) then mutiply that by 2 and get 14. Then subtract 14 by 3 and get 11. 11 = 10 - (1-2). Now subtract (1-2) and get - 1. 11 = 10 - (-1). distribute the - 1 and get one. add 10 + 1 and get 11=11 answer is correct

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (6x + 1) - 3x = 10 - (x - 2) distribute terms through parentheses

12x + 2 - 3x = 10 - x + 2 combine like terms

12x - 3x + x = 10 + 2 - 2

10x = 10 divide

x = 1
