1 answer:

7 0

The unknown value can be called x.
3(2x +4) = 72
6x +12 = 72
72 - 12 = 6x
6x = 60
x = 6x / 6
x = 10

Help with the step by step

Nataliya [291]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute the -4 to the parenthesis:

24a-22=-4+24a

Add 22 to both sides:

24a-22+22=-4+22+24a

Simplify:

24a=18+24a

Subtract 24a from both sides:

24a-24a=18+24a-24a

Simplify:

0=18

hope this helps :)
