Math Problem Statement

−2(−x+3)+4x+2= 2

Solution

Let's solve the equation step by step:

Given equation: 2(x+3)+4x+2=2-2(-x + 3) + 4x + 2 = 2

Step 1: Distribute the 2-2 across (x+3)(-x + 3)

2(x)+(2)(3)+4x+2=2-2(-x) + (-2)(3) + 4x + 2 = 2 This simplifies to: 2x6+4x+2=22x - 6 + 4x + 2 = 2

Step 2: Combine like terms

(2x+4x)+(6+2)=2(2x + 4x) + (-6 + 2) = 2 6x4=26x - 4 = 2

Step 3: Add 4 to both sides to isolate the term with xx

6x=2+46x = 2 + 4 6x=66x = 6

Step 4: Divide both sides by 6 to solve for xx

x=66x = \frac{6}{6} x=1x = 1

So, the solution is: x=1x = 1
