To solve the equation, we need to simplify both sides and then isolate the variable.
Let's start by simplifying the equation:
5x - 4(3 - 2x) = 2(3x - 2) + 6
First, distribute the -4 on the left side and the 2 on the right side:
5x - 12 + 8x = 6x - 4 + 6
Combine like terms:
13x - 12 = 6x + 2
Next, move all the terms containing x to one side of the equation by subtracting 6x from both sides:
13x - 6x - 12 = 6x - 6x + 2
Simplify:
7x - 12 = 2
Finally, move the constant term to the other side by adding 12 to both sides:
7x - 12 + 12 = 2 + 12
Simplify:
7x = 14
To isolate x, divide both sides by 7:
(7x)/7 = 14/7
Simplify:
x = 2
So the solution to the equation is x = 2.
5x-4(3-2x)=2(3x-2)+6
