Answer:

Do the distributive property; your new equation will be 9x + 18 = 90

Explanation:

The first step to the problem 9(x + 2) = 90 is the distribute property. Since we don't know what x is we can't add it to 2. Instead we do the distributive property, which is when you multiply the outside number to the terms inside the parenthesis.

The equation will then be: 9x + 18 = 90

! --- Note: I'm not too sure what you are trying to ask because your question is unclear but hope this helps in some way
