4x − 2 − 2x = x − 5 −(x + 3) = 2x − 6

I need these step by step, please help!! I'll give brainliest and all of my points

x = - 3 and x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 2 - 2x = x - 5, that is

2x - 2 = x - 5 ( subtract x from both sides )

x - 2 = - 5 ( add 2 to both sides )

x = - 3

- (x + 3) = 2x - 6 ← distribute left side

- x - 3 = 2x - 6 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

- 3x - 3 = - 6 ( add 3 to both sides )

- 3x = - 3 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = 1

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
