Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to distribute.

2(2x)      2(5)

this will give you 4x and 10.

4x +10 +6=20

then, you add 10 and 6, which will give you 16

4x +16=20

next, you subtract 16 on both sides, which will leave you with 4x =4

x=1

Answer:

x = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

2(2x - 5) + 6 = 20

4x - 10 + 6 = 20

4x - 4 = 20

4x = 20 + 4

4x = 24

x = 24/4

x = 6.
