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.

2(3x-4)= 5x+ 6
6x + 8= 5x+ 6 Distribute.
6x = 5x + 14 Subtract 8 on both sides.
X= 14 Subtract 5x on both sides.


The equation with Charlie is too confusing to answer. Please be more organized next time when writing the question.
