Answer 2

Answer: Answer is the steps

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Richie rewrite the equation as 24x + 18(x-2) =216

Step 2: Richie  applied the distributive property to eliminate the parentheses  and got the equation  24x + 18x - 32 = 216

Step 3: Richie combine like terms  to get the equation 42x -36 =216

Step 4: Richie added 36 to both sides to get the new equation 42x = 252  

Richie was not done solving for x so in

Step 5: Richie should have divided both sides by 42 to get  the final answer

x = 6.
