Question

6(x+2) - 10x = -9 - (x+18)

Answer 1

x=13

Explanation:

6(x+2)−10x=−9−(x+18)

6(x+2)−10x=−9+−1(x+18)

6(x+2)−10x=−9+−1x+(−1)(18)

6(x+2)−10x=−9+−x+−18

(6)(x)+(6)(2)+−10x=−9+−x+−18

6x+12+−10x=−9+−x+−18

(6x+−10x)+(12)=(−x)+(−9+−18)

−4x+12=−x+−27

−4x+12=−x−27

−4x+12+x=−x−27+x

−3x+12=−27

−3x+12−12=−27−12

−3x=−39

-3x/-3 = -39/-3

x = 13
