Question
Solve the equation
x=2
Evaluate
2(6−x)=4x
Expand the expression
More Steps

Evaluate
2(6−x)
Apply the distributive property
2×6−2x
Multiply the numbers
12−2x
12−2x=4x
Move the variable to the left side
12−2x−4x=0
Subtract the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
−2x−4x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(−2−4)x
Subtract the numbers
−6x
12−6x=0
Move the constant to the right side
−6x=0−12
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−6x=−12
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
6x=12
Divide both sides
66x=612
Divide the numbers
x=612
