Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Expand the equation
$$ \begin{align*} 2(x - 3)-4(x - 6)&=7x\ 2x-6-(4x - 24)&=7x\ 2x-6 - 4x+24&=7x \end{align*} $$
Step2: Combine like terms
$$ \begin{align*} (2x-4x)+(-6 + 24)&=7x\ -2x+18&=7x \end{align*} $$
Step3: Move terms with (x) to one side
Add (2x) to both sides: $$ \begin{align*} -2x+2x + 18&=7x+2x\ 18&=9x \end{align*} $$
Step4: Solve for (x)
Divide both sides by (9): $$x=\frac{18}{9}=2$$
