5 (2x + 2) - 4 =2x + 6

1 answer

Let's solve the equation step by step:

5(2x + 2) - 4 = 2x + 6

First, distribute the 5 on the left side of the equation:

10x + 10 - 4 = 2x + 6

Combine like terms:

10x + 6 = 2x + 6

Subtract 2x from both sides:

8x + 6 = 6

Subtract 6 from both sides:

8x = 0

Divide by 8:

x = 0

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 0.
