Question

4(x-6)=x+30 what is the answer

Answer 1

18 is your answer

Explanation:

First, distribute 4 to all terms within the parenthesis.

4(x - 6) = 4x - 24

4x - 24 = x + 30

Next, isolate the x. Add 24 to both sides, and subtract x from both sides

4x (-x) - 24 (+24) = x (-x) + 30 (+24)

4x - x = 30 + 24

Simplify. Combine like terms

3x = 54

Isolate the x. Divide 3 from both sides

(3x)/3 = (54)/3

x = 54/3

x = 18
