X=30
1/2(x+6) distribute 1/2
1/2x +3= 18. Take out 3 from both sides by subtracting
1/2x = 15 get rid of the1/2by multiplying 2
X=30

I'm sorry but I don't understand what "distributive property" and "properties of equality" means - English isn't my native language.

But the value of x is 30

0,5 * (30 + 6) = 18
