Answer:
x=-14
Explanation:
Expand 8(3x+6)
a=8 b=3x c=6
=8*3x+8*6
Simplify; 8*3x+8*6
=24x+48
Expand 9(2x-4)
a=9, b=2x, c=4
=9*2x-9*4
Simplify;9*2x-9*4
=18x-36
24x+48=18x-36
Subtract 48 from both sides;
24x+48-48=18x-36-48
Simplify;
24x=18x-84
Subtract 18x from both sides;
24x-18x=18x-84-18x
Simplify;
6x=-84
Divide both sides by 6;
6x/6=-84/6
Simplify; 6x/6
=x
Simplify ; -84/6
x=-14
