Distribute and Simplify: First, distribute the 2 into the parentheses: 2×3x gives 6x, and 2×−4 gives −8. So the equation becomes 6x−8−2x+2=22.
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms: 6x−2x becomes 4x, and −8+2 becomes −6. So now we have 4x−6=22.
Isolate x Term: Add 6 to both sides to isolate the term with x: 4x−6+6=22+6. This simplifies to 4x=28.
Solve for x: Divide both sides by 4 to solve for x: 44x=428. This gives us x=7.
