Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-2)-6x=4(x-5)

Distribute

3x -6  -6x = 4x -20

Combine like terms

-3x-6 = 4x-20

Add 3x to each side

-3x-6+3x = 4x-20+3x

-6 = 7x-20

Add 20 to each side

-6+20 = 7x-20+20

14 = 7x

Divide by 7

14/7 =7x/7

2=x

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]3(x - 2) - 6x = 4(x - 5)[/tex]

Distribute 3 through the parentheses

[tex]3x - 6 - 6x = 4(x - 5)[/tex]

Distribute 4 through the parentheses

[tex]3x - 6 - 6x = 4x - 20[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex] - 3x - 6 = 4x - 20[/tex]

Move variable to L.H.S and change it's sign

[tex] - 3x - 4x - 6 = - 20[/tex]

Move constant to RHS and change it's sign

[tex] - 3x - 4x = - 20 + 6[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex] - 7x = - 20 + 6[/tex]

Calculate

[tex] - 7x = - 14[/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by -7

[tex] \frac{ - 7x}{ - 7} = \frac{ - 14}{ - 7} [/tex]

Calculate

[tex]x = 2[/tex]

Hope this helps..
