Answer:

13

Explanation:

(2x+6)=32

Remove the brackets.

2x+6=32

Carry over the 6 to the 32. This means to put the like terms together.

2x= 32-6

2x= 26

2x= 26รท2

x= 13

To find out if the answer was correct:

First replace the variable(s) or unknown(s) with the values that we got when we solved to find the value of the x.

x=13 so x would be replaced with 13.

When replacing the variable(s) with the value, put it in brackets like so:

2(13)+16= 32

Remember brackets mean to multiply.

2*13+6=32

= 26+6= 32

Therefore the x is 13.
