Hey there!
6(x + 4) =48
First you’ll have to distribute
6(x) + 6(4) = 48
6(x) = 6x
6x + 6(4) = 48
6(4) = 24
6x + 24 = 48
SUBTRACT by 24 on both sides
Like: 6x + 24 - 24 = 48 - 24
Cancel out: 24 - 24 because that gives you 0
Keep: 48 - 24 because that helps us solve for our x
48 - 24 = 24
New equation: 6x = 24
DIVIDE both sides by 6
6x/6 = 24/6
Cancel out: 6/6 because it gives you 1
Keep: 24/6 because it helps us get to the value of x
New equation: x = 24/6
24 / 6 = 24 divided by 6 ➡️ 4
Thus, your answer of x is: 4 ✔️
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
