Question
Solve the equation
x=5
Evaluate
6x−2(x−3)=26
Move the expression to the left side
6x−2(x−3)−26=0
Calculate
More Steps
Evaluate
6x−2(x−3)−26
Expand the expression
More Steps
Calculate
−2(x−3)
Apply the distributive property
−2x−(−2×3)
Multiply the numbers
−2x−(−6)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
−2x+6
6x−2x+6−26
Subtract the terms
More Steps
Evaluate
6x−2x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(6−2)x
Subtract the numbers
4x
4x+6−26
Subtract the numbers
4x−20
4x−20=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
4x=0+20
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
4x=20
Divide both sides
44x=420
Divide the numbers
x=420
