see below
Step-by-step explanation:
54+2x=5x−3(2+6x) Given
Distribute the -3 to all the terms in the parentheses
54+2x=5x−6−18x Distributive property
54+2x=−13x−6 Combine like terms
Subtract 2x from each side
54=−15x−6 Subtraction Property of Equality
Add 6 to each side
60=−15x Addition property of equality
Divide each side by -15 ( or multiply each side by -1/15)
−4=x multiplication Property of equality
