Question: 1 / 400

What is the solution for x in the equation 7x - 2(3x + 1) = 6?

x = 1

x = 2

To find the solution for x in the equation 7x - 2(3x + 1) = 6, we start by simplifying the equation step by step.

First, we distribute the -2 across the terms inside the parentheses:

7x - 2(3x) - 2(1) = 6

This simplifies to:

7x - 6x - 2 = 6

Next, we combine like terms. We have 7x and -6x:

(7x - 6x) - 2 = 6

This further simplifies to:

x - 2 = 6

Now, to isolate x, we add 2 to both sides of the equation:

x - 2 + 2 = 6 + 2

This results in:

x = 8

Looking at the choices provided, the solution that corresponds to our calculation does not match the selected answer of x = 2. The correct steps lead us to x = 8, so there may have been an error in identifying the choices initially. In the context of the options provided, x = 1, 2, 3, and 4 do not satisfy the equation
