Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

6(x-3)=18

Then divide both sides by 6

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 6(x-3) = 18​

use distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac

  • 6x - 18 = 18

change sides

  • 6x = 18 + 18

add integers

  • 6x = 36

divide both sides by 6

  • x = 6
