Question

Solve the equation and enter the value of x below. 6(x + 18) = 9x x = _____

Answer 1

6(x + 18) = 9x x = __36__

Explanation:

We have the following equation

`6(x + 18) = 9x`

To solve the equation follow the next steps

1. Apply the distributive property

`6x + 6*18 = 9x`

`6x + 108 = 9x`

2. Subtract 6x on both sides of the equation

`6x -6x +108 = 9x-6x`

`108 = 3x`

`3x= 108`

3. Divide both sides of the equation by 3

`(3)/(3)x= (108)/(3)`

`x= 36`
