Respuesta :

6(x+1) -5x = 8 + 2(x-1)

Use the distributive property:

6x + 6 -5x = 8 + 2x -2

Combine like terms:

X +6 = 6 + 2x

Subtract 2x from both sides:

-x +6 = 6

Subtract 6 from both sides:

-x = 0

Divide both sides by -1:

X =0

Answer:

6(x+1) -5x = 8 + 2(x-1)

Use the distributive property:

6x + 6 -5x = 8 + 2x -2

Combine like terms:

X +6 = 6 + 2x

Subtract 2x from both sides:

-x +6 = 6

Subtract 6 from both sides:

-x = 0

Divide both sides by -1:

X =0
