What is the value of x in this equation? 5x - 2(2x- 1) = 6
OA. 3
O B. 4
O C. 7
O D. 8

B. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 2(2x-1) = 6   Distribute first the 2 to (2x-1)

5x - 4x + 2 = 6    Subtract 5x - 4x

x + 2 = 6   Transpose 2 to the right side by subtracting both side by 2

x = 6 -2

x  = 4

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2
