Question

Solve for x.6(x - 2) = 41.x=12.x=1 1/33.x= 2 2/3

Answer 1

The given equation is:

`6(x-2)=4`

It is required to solve for x.

Distribute 6 into the expression in parentheses:

`6x-12=4`

Add 12 to both sides of the equation:

`\begin{gathered} 6x-12+12=4+12 \\ \Rightarrow6x=16 \end{gathered}`

Divide both sides of the equation by 6:

`\begin{gathered} (6x)/(6)=(16)/(6) \\ \Rightarrow x=(8)/(3)=2(2)/(3) \end{gathered}`

Hence, the correct answer is 3) x=2 2/3.

The correct option is 3.
