step-by-step explanation:
#1: simplify both sides of the equation.
2(x+3)−4x=x
(2)(x)+(2)(3)+−4x=x
2x+6+−4x=x
(2x+−4x)+(6)=x
−2x+6=x
−2x+6=x
***
#2: subtract x from both sides.
−2x+6−x=x−x
−3x+6=0
***
#3: subtract 6 from both sides.
−3x+6−6=0−6
−3x=−6
***
step 4: divide both sides by -3.
−3x/-3 = -6/-3
solution x = 2
