Question

What is the solution to the following equation?
2(3х – 7) + 18 = 10

Answer 1

$⇒2(3x - 7) + 18 = 10 \\ 6x - 14 + 18 = 10 \\ 6x - 32 = 10 \\ 6x = 10 + 32 \\ 6x = 42 \\ x = \frac{42}{6} \\ x = 7$

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2(3x - 7) + 18 = 10 ( subtract 18 from both sides )

2(3x - 7) = - 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

3x - 7 = - 4 ( add 7 to both sides )

3x = 3 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 1
