Solve 24 - 2 (3x - 2) = 10

Evaluate

24 - 2 (3 x - 2) = 10

Move the expression to the left side

24 - 2 (3 x - 2) - 10 = 0

Subtract the numbers

14 - 2 (3 x - 2) = 0

Calculate

More Steps

18 - 6 x = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- 6 x = 0 - 18

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 6 x = - 18

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

6 x = 18

Divide both sides

\frac{6 x}{6} = \frac{18}{6}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{18}{6}
