Question

Can you help me find the answer to 3(-6+6x)=18

Answer 1

3(-6+6x)=18

multiply the bracket by 3

(3)(-6)=-18

(3)(6x)=18x

-18+18x=18

move -18 to the other side

sign changes from -18 to +18

-18+18x+18=18+18

-18+18+18x=18+18 ( rearranging)

18x=36

divide both sides by 18 to get x by itself

18x/18=36/18

answer:

x=2

Answer 2

You multiply the 3 by -6 then multiply the 3 by 6 , one you get -18 and the other you 18x you change the -18 into a positive then add it by 18 in get 36 then you divide by 18x in get 2
