Given the equation 2(3x − 4) = 5x + 6, solve for the variable. Explain each step and justify your process.
Charlie solved a similar equation below. Is Charlie's solution correct? Explain why or why not.
4x − 3 = 2(x − 1)
4x − 3 = 2x + 2
2x − 3 = 2
2x = 6
x = 3 (10 points)

Sagot :

2(3x-4) = 5x+6
First, expand the bracket.
6x-8=5x+6
Next, move the variables to the same side.
x-8=6
Move the -8 to the other side, change to +
x=6+8
x=14
Charlie’s solution is incorrect. When expanding the bracket, he changed the - to a +.
