Question

Solve the following algebraic equation. Show each step of the process.

6(x - 8) = 96

Answer 1

x= 24

Explanation:

Multiply each term in the parentheses. Not sure if this helps but I hope it does.

6(x−8)=96

(6)(x)+(6)(−8)=96(Distribute)

6x+−48=96

6x−48=96

Step 2: Add 48 to both sides.

6x−48+48=96+48

6x=144

Step 3: Divide both sides by 6.

6x

6

=

144

x=24
