Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-2(6-x)=7x+2(5+x)-6

First, distribute.

3x+ −12+ 2x = 7x + 10 + 2x −6

Combine like terms on each side.

5x − 12= 9x + 4

To solve for x, pick a side to solve. I will solve the right x.

5x - 12 = 9x + 4

-5x         -5x

-12 = 4x + 4

Subtract 4 to isolate the variable.

-16 = 4x

Divide 4.

-4 = x
