Question

How do I solve this problem? I don’t know the answer I just need to know how to solve

Answer 1

(18x + 36)/2 = -24

Do the opposite of PEMDAS. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side you do to the other. Isolate the x.

First multiply 2 to both sides

(18x + 36)/2(2) = -24(2)

18x + 36 = -24(2)

18x + 36 = -48

Isolate the x. Subtract 36 from both sides

18x + 36 (-36) = - 48 (-36)

18x = -48 - 36

18x = - 84

Isolate the x, divide 18 from both sides

18x/18 = -84/18

x = -84/18

x = -4.67 (rounded)

-4.67 rounded should be your answer

hope this helps
