Question

1. What are two possible first steps you could use when solving an equation like `6(x+4)=30?`

Answer 1

x = 1

Explanation:

6(x + 4) = 30

Simplify.

6x + 24 = 30

Subtract 24 from each side.

6x + 24 - 24 = 30 - 24

Simplify.

6x = 6

Divide each side by 6.

6x ÷ 6 = 6 ÷ 6

Simplify.

x = 1

Answer 2
