Answer: 2
Step-by-step explanation:
distribute: 6 [ 9 − 9 + 8 ] + 3 = 0
add the numbers: 6 [ 1 7 − 9 ] + 3 = 0
rearrange terms: 6 [ − 9 + 1 7 ] + 3 = 0
distribute again: − 5 4 + 1 0 2 + 3 = 0
combine like terms: − 5 4 + 1 0 2 + 3 = 0
Subtract 102 from both sides of the equation: − 5 1 + 1 0 2 − 1 0 2 = 0 − 1 0 2
simplify:− 5 1 = − 1 0 2
Divide both sides of the equation by the same term: -51x/-51 = -102/-51
simplify: 2
i hope this helps! ^^
