-2(6x - 5) = 4

1 answer

To solve the equation, we need to distribute the -2 to each term inside the parentheses:

-2(6x - 5) = 4

-12x + 10 = 4

Next, we can isolate the x-term by subtracting 10 from both sides:

-12x + 10 - 10 = 4 - 10

-12x = -6

Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by -12:

(-12x)/(-12) = (-6)/(-12)

x = 1/2

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 1/2.
