Answer
x=5
Work Step by Step
Simplifying
2(x + 3) + -6 = 10
Reorder the terms:
2(3 + x) + -6 = 10
(3 * 2 + x * 2) + -6 = 10
(6 + 2x) + -6 = 10
Reorder the terms:
6 + -6 + 2x = 10
Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + 2x = 10
2x = 10
Solving
2x = 10
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Divide each side by '2'.
x = 5
Simplifying
x = 5
