Answer:
Let's assume that x equals to 1
LHS = 6x - 2
= 6 × 1 - 2
= 6 - 2
= 4
RHS = 16
LHS ≠ RHS hence, the value of x is not 1
Let's assume that the value of x is 2
LHS = 6x - 2
= 6 × 2 - 2
= 12 - 2
= 10
RHS = 16
LHS ≠ RHS hence, the value of x is not 2
Let's assume that the value of x is 3
LHS = 6x - 2
= 6 × 3 - 2
= 18 - 2
= 16
RHS = 16
LHS = RHS hence, the value of x equals to 3
Hope it helps
