Is this the right answer

Is this the correct answer to the question? If not please give me the right answer and show your steps! thanks!
Solve for x
2(6x-1)+2(2x+5)=120 I got 2 I don't think it's right though _-_

Good Afternoon, Nicole. Allow me to explain how to solve these types of problems.

2(6x - 1) +2(2x + 5) = 120. Multiply each expression by the coefficient in front of it,

12x -2 + 4x + 10 = 120. Group like terms, watching the sign changes!

12x + 4x = 120 +2 -10. Combine like terms:

16x = 112. Divide both sides by 16 to solve for 'x'.

x = 7. To check this answer, insert it into the original equation in place of 'x'. See it wasn't too hard,

Nicole, was it?

Philo is correct, answer isn't 2, it's 7. You can check it by replacing x with '7' in the equation.

2(6x-1)+2(2x+5)=120
2(6(7)-1)+2(2(7)+5)=120
2(42-1)+2(14+5)=120
2(41)+2(19)=120
82+38=120
120=120
x=7

2(6x-1)+2(2x+5)=120
12x - 2 + 4x + 10 = 120 ... expand brackets
16x + 8 = 120 ... collect
16x = 112 ... subtract 8 from both sides
x = 7

2(6*7 - 1) + 2(2*7+5)
= 2*41 + 2*19
= 2(41 + 19)
= 2*60
= 120 QED

12x-2+4x+10=120
16x=120-10+2
16x=112
divide both numbers with 16
x=112/16
x=7

:) hope i helped

2(6x – 1) + 2(2x + 5) = 120
12x – 2 + 4x + 10 = 120
16x + 8 = 120
16x = 112
x = 7
