Question

I need a little help with this math problem: 19x-3(x - 6) = 66

Answer 1

solution: x = 3

Answer 2

x=3

Explanation:

19x−3(x−6)=66

19x+(−3)(x)+(−3)(−6)=66(Distribute)

19x+−3x+18=66

(19x+−3x)+(18)=66(Combine Like Terms)

16x+18=66

16x+18=66

Step 2: Subtract 18 from both sides.

16x+18−18=66−18

16x=48

Step 3: Divide both sides by 16.

16x/16=48/16

x=3
