Question

Highlight all expressions that represent a correct solution to the equation 6(x+4)=20. A: (20-4)6 B: 16(20-4) C: 20-6-4 D: 206-4 E: 16(20-24) F: (20-24)6

Answer 1

(20 - 24)/6

Explanation:

We have the algebraic expression

6(x + 4)= 20

We expand the brackets

6x + 24 = 20

Collect like terms

6x = 20 - 24

x = (20 - 24)/6

A correct solution to the expression is

(20 - 24)/6
