$x = 2$ $color(green)(x=2$

$2 (x + 3) = 10$ $color(blue)(2 )(x+3) = 10$ .

Here $2$ $color(blue)(2$ is multiplied with both the terms within the bracket.

$2 \times (x) + 2 \times (3) = 10$ $color(blue)(2) xx (x) +color(blue)(2) xx (3) = 10$

$2 x + 6 = 10$ $2x +6= 10$

$2 x = 10 - 6$ $2x = 10 -6$

$2 x = 4$ $2x = 4$

$x = \frac{4}{2}$ $x = 4/2$

$x = 2$ $color(green)(x=2$
