Answer:

[tex]x = - 10[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve:

[tex]2(x+3)=x−4[/tex]

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

[tex]2(x+3)=x−4 \\ (2)(x)+(2)(3)=x+−4(Distribute) \\ 2x+6=x+−4 \\ 2x+6=x−4[/tex]

Step 2: Subtract x from both sides.

[tex]2x+6−x=x−4−x \\ x+6=−4[/tex]

Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides.

[tex]x+6−6=−4−6 \\ x=−10[/tex]
