Question

What is: 2x/7 - 18 = 6

Answer 1

Given:

`(2x)/(7) - 18 = 6`

To Find:

The value of x.

Solution:

By adding 18 to both the sides, we get

`(2x)/(7) = 24`

By taking 7 to the RHS, we get

`2x = 24 * 7 = 168`

By taking 2 to the other side, we get

`x = (168)/(2) = 84`

Answer:

The value of x is 84.

Answer 2

x = 84

Explanation:

`(2x)/(7) - 18 = 6`

Add 18 to both sides of the equation

That's

`(2x)/(7) + 18 - 18 = 6 + 18 \\ (2x)/(7) = 24`

Multiply through by 7 to eliminate the fraction

`7 * (2x)/(7) = 24 * 7 \\ 2x = 168`

Divide both sides by 2

`(2x)/(2) = (168)/(2) \\`

We have the final answer as

x = 84

Hope this helps you
