Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the value of x, isolate it in the equation.
1) First, distribute the 2 to the terms inside the set of parentheses.
[tex]2 (3x - 9) = 2x + 10 \\6x - 18 = 2x + 10 \\[/tex]
2) Next, move all the x terms to one side and all the other terms to the other side. Subtract both sides by 2x and add both sides by 18.
[tex]6x - 18 = 2x + 10 \\4x = 28[/tex]
2) Divide both sides by 4 to finally isolate x.
[tex]4x = 28 \\x = 7[/tex]
Thus, x = 7.
