Question

Simplify6(x - 3) = -42.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

First Expand :

6(x - 3)

= 6x - 18

Now you need to Simplify:

6x - 18 = -42

And now get the 6x by itself by doing this :

6x - 18 = -42

+18 +18

= > 6x = -24

And 6 x 4 = 24

But 6 x -4 = -24

So :

6x/6 and -24/6

= >> x = -4
