Question

30 = 2(x + 6) solve for x

Answer 1

First, we can simplify the equation by dividing both sides by 2:

30/2 = x + 6

This gives us:

15 = x + 6

Now we can solve for x by subtracting 6 from both sides:

15 - 6 = x

Therefore, the solution is:

x = 9.

Answer 2

x = 9

Explanation:

30 = 2(x +6)

30 = 2x +12

Subtract 12 from both sides.

18 = 2x

divide both sides by 2.

9 = x
