Question

I need help with this question -6 (10 - x) = 84

Answer 1

-6 (10 - x) = 84​

Solving for x:

Use distributive property on the left hand side of the equation:

-6*(10) -6*(-x) = 84

-60 + 6x = 84

Add 60 to both sides:

-60 + 6x + 60 = 84 + 60

6x = 144

Divide both sides by 6:

6x/6 = 144/6

x = 24
