Question

What is the solution to this equation?

10x - 3(x- 6) = x + 30
O A. x = 8
O B. x = 2
C. X= 4

Answer 1

`answer \\ 2\\ solution \\ 10x - 3(x - 6) = x + 30 \\ or \: 10x - 3x + 18 = x + 30 \\ or \: 10x - 3x - x = 30 - 18 \\ or \: 7x - x = 12 \\ or \: 6x = 12 \\ or \: x = (12)/(6) \\ x = 2 \\ hope \: it \: helps`

Answer 2

x=2

Explanation:

10x - 3(x- 6) = x + 30

Distribute

10x -3x+18 = x+30

Combine like terms

7x + 18 = x+30

Subtract x from each side

6x+18 = 30

Subtract 18 from each side

6x = 30-18

6x = 12

Divide by 6

6x/6 = 12/6

x =2
