Answer: x = 5.5
Step-by-step explanation:
18 = 6 (2x - 8)
Using distributive property, this becomes 18 = 12x - 48
Add 48 to each side
66 = 12x
Divide each side by 12
5.5 = x
Answer:
x=5.5
Question: 18=6(2x-8)
1) Distribute 6 to 2x and -8:
18=12x-48
2) Add 48 to both sides:
66=12x
3) Divide both sides by 12:

Don't forget- the Distributive property says a(b+c)=ab+ac
