Question

$$\frac{2}{1}(3x+6)=4x$$

Solve for x

$x=-6$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Anything divided by one gives itself.

$$2\left(3x+6\right)=4x$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $2$ by $3x+6$.

$$6x+12=4x$$

Subtract $4x$ from both sides.

$$6x+12-4x=0$$

Combine $6x$ and $-4x$ to get $2x$.

$$2x+12=0$$

Subtract $12$ from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$2x=-12$$

Divide both sides by $2$.

$$x=\frac{-12}{2}$$

Divide $-12$ by $2$ to get $-6$.

$$x=-6$$
