Question

Solve the equation using the distributive property and properties of equity 1/2(x + 6) = 18

i need an answer asap no rocky

Answer 1

x=30

Explanation:

1/2(x + 6) = 18

Distribute

1/2 x + 1/2 *6 = 18

1/2 x +3 = 18

Subtract 3 from each side

1/2 x +3-3 = 18-3

1/2 x = 15

Multiply each side by 2

2*1/2x = 15*2

x = 30
