Answer:Simplifying

6(4x + 10) = 84

Reorder the terms:

6(10 + 4x) = 84

(10 * 6 + 4x * 6) = 84

(60 + 24x) = 84

Solving

60 + 24x = 84

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-60' to each side of the equation.

60 + -60 + 24x = 84 + -60

Combine like terms: 60 + -60 = 0

0 + 24x = 84 + -60

24x = 84 + -60

Combine like terms: 84 + -60 = 24

24x = 24

Divide each side by '24'.

x = 1

Simplifying

x = 1
