Question

What is: 2x/7 - 18 = 6

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2x}{7} - 18 = 6$

Add 18 to both sides of the equation

That's

$\frac{2x}{7} + 18 - 18 = 6 + 18 \\ \frac{2x}{7} = 24$

Multiply through by 7 to eliminate the fraction

$7 \times \frac{2x}{7} = 24 \times 7 \\ 2x = 168$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{168}{2}$

We have the final answer as

x = 84

Hope this helps you

Answer 2

Given:

$\frac{2x}{7} - 18 = 6$

To Find:

The value of x.

Solution:

By adding 18 to both the sides, we get

$\frac{2x}{7} = 24$

By taking 7 to the RHS, we get

$2x = 24 \times 7 = 168$

By taking 2 to the other side, we get

$x = \frac{168}{2} = 84$

Answer:

The value of x is 84.
