Question

What is the value of x in the equation? 2/3(x+6)=-18​

Answer 1

C.) -33

Explanation:

2/3 (x+6) = -18

x+6 = -27

x = -33

Answer 2

B

Explanation:

2/3*(x + 6) = -18

Multiply by 3

2(x + 6) = -18*3

2(x + 6) = -54

Remove the brackets

2x + 12 = - 54

Subtract 12 from both sides

2x+12-12 = - 54 - 12

Combine like terms

2x = -66

Divide by 2

2x/2 = -66/2

x = -33

Answer B
