Question

Solve 1/3 (3x + 6) + 2x = 26

Answer 1

Answer: x = 8

Explanation:

Given

(1/3) (3x + 6) + 2x = 26

Expand parentheses and apply the distributive property

(1/3) · 3x + (1/3) · 6 + 2x = 26

x + 2 + 2x = 26

Combine like terms

(x + 2x) + 2 = 26

3x + 2 = 26

Subtract 2 on both sides

3x + 2 - 2 = 26 - 2

3x = 24

Divide 3 on both sides

3x / 3 = 24 / 3

`\boxed{x=8}`

Hope this helps!! :)
