Question

3(x-4)=18 Need help solving this problem

Answer 1

Given equation is

`3(x-4)=18`

Dividing both sides by 3, to eliminate 3 from the left side of the equation.

`(3(x-4))/(3)=(18)/(3)`

`x-4=6`

Adding 4 both sides to eliminate -4 from the left side of the equation, we get

`x-4+4=6+4`
`x=10`

Hence the solution is x=10.
