Hey there!
6(2x - 6) + 2(13 - x) = 10
6(2x) + 6(-6) + 2(13) + 2(-x) = 10
12x - 36 + 26 - 2x = 10
10x - 10 = 10
ADD 10 to BOTH SIDES
10x - 10 + 10 = 10 + 10
SIMPLIFY IT
10x = 10 + 10
10x = 20
DIVIDE 10 to BOTH SIDES
10x/10 = 20/10
SIMPLIFY IT
x = 20/10
x = 2
Therefore, your answer should be:
Option D. x = 2
Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
