Answer 1

`\huge{ \bold{ \boxed{ \tt{x = 8}}}}`

Explanation:

`\text{6(x + 20) = 168}`

`\text{Step \: 1 : \: Distribute \: 6 \: through \: the \: parentheses}`

`\text{⇢ \: 6x + 120 = 168 }`

`\text{Step \: 2 : \: Move \: 120 \: to \: right \: hand \: side \: and \: change \: its \: sign.}`

`\text{⇢ \: 6x = 168 - 120}`

`\text{Step \: 3 : \: Subtract \: 120 \: from \: 168}`

`\text{⇢ \: 6x = 48}`

`\text{Step \: 4 : \: Divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 6}`

`\text{ \: ⇢ \: 6x \: / \: 6 \: = \: 48 \: / \: 6}`

⇢
`\boxed{ \text{ x = 8}}`

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
