Question

How can we get Equation B from Equation A?

3(x+2)=18
x+2=18

i need them solved aswell

Answer 1

x = 4

Explanation:

A:3(x+2)=18

Divide each side by 3

3/3(x+2)=18/3

x+2 = 6

This is the same equation as equation B

They will have the same solution since they are the same equation

x+2-2 = 6-2

x = 4
