Question

2. Richie solved the equation 24x + 18(x - 2) = 216 for x.

Some of his steps are shown below.
Step 1: 24x + 18(x - 2) = 216
Step 2: 24x + 18x - 36 = 216
Step 3: 42x - 36 = 216
Step 4: 42x = 252
List the steps Richie took to solve the equation.
the answer is 6 he nned to divide 42 and
252

Answer 1

Explanation:

42x=252

x=252/4

x=6

well hope that helps

Answer 2

Answer: Answer is the steps

Explanation:

Step 1: Richie rewrite the equation as 24x + 18(x-2) =216

Step 2: Richie applied the distributive property to eliminate the parentheses and got the equation 24x + 18x - 32 = 216

Step 3: Richie combine like terms to get the equation 42x -36 =216

Step 4: Richie added 36 to both sides to get the new equation 42x = 252

Richie was not done solving for x so in

Step 5: Richie should have divided both sides by 42 to get the final answer

x = 6.
