x=8

3 steps

Here's how to solve the equation:

The equation is given as:

3(x-2) = x+10

Distribute the 3 on the left side of the equation.
$3x - 3 \times 2 = x+10$ $3x - 6 = x+10$
Gather all terms with $x$ on one side and constant terms on the other side.
Subtract $x$ from both sides:
$3x - x - 6 = 10$ $2x - 6 = 10$
Add 6 to both sides:
$2x = 10 + 6$ $2x = 16$
Solve for $x$ by dividing both sides by 2.
$x = \frac{16}{2}$ $x = 8$
