Solve the following question algebraically. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME! ILL MARK THE BRAINLIEST ANSWER!!I’VE TRIED TO FIGURE IT OUT
Delicious77 [7]

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

First, multiply 3 to both sides

6(3) = ((x + 2)/3)(3)

18 = x + 2

Finally, isolate the x. Subtract 2 from both sides

18 (-2) = x + 2 (-2)

x = 18 - 2

x = 16

16 is your answer for x

hope this helps
