(4) 102 = 3x - 6(5x + 10)

(4) 102 = 3x - 6(5x + 10)
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Expand the equation
$$102 = 3x - 6(5x + 10)$$ $$102 = 3x-(30x + 60)$$ $$102 = 3x - 30x - 60$$
Step2: Combine like terms
$$102=-27x - 60$$
Step3: Isolate the term with (x)
Add (60) to both sides: $$102 + 60=-27x$$ $$162=-27x$$
Step4: Solve for (x)
Divide both sides by (-27): $$x=\frac{162}{-27}$$ $$x = - 6$$
Answer:
(x=-6)
