Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve for x in the equation:
2(x - 3) = 10
using the distributive property.
The distributive property states that:
a(b + c) = ab + ac
Therefore, our equation can be rewritten as:
2x - 2(3) = 10
Simplifying and solving for x, we get:
2x - 6 = 10
2x = 10 + 6 ... adding 6 on both sides
2x = 16
x = 16/2 ... dividing both sides by 2
x = 8
