Question

If -2×+6=24 what is the value of x

Answer 1

x = - 9

Explanation:

Isolate - 2x by subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation )

- 2x = 18 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = - 9

Answer 2

Subtract 6 from both sides

-2x = 24 - 6

Simplify 24 - 6 to 18

-2x = 18

Divide both sides by -2

x = -18/2

Simplify 18/2 to 9

x = -9
