Answer:
x=−1
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
6(2x+1)=2(5x+2)
(6)(2x)+(6)(1)=(2)(5x)+(2)(2)(Distribute)
12x+6=10x+4
Step 2: Subtract 10x from both sides.
12x+6−10x=10x+4−10x
2x+6=4
Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides.
2x+6−6=4−6
2x=−2
Step 4: Divide both sides by 2.
x=−1
