Question

PLEASE HELP!!

Answer 1

Answer:

x = - 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{2}{3}$(x + 6) = - 18

Multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction

2(x + 6) = - 54 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x + 6 = - 27 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

x = - 33

Answer 2

Answer:

x= -33

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 (x+6) = -18

(x+6)  = -18x3/2 = -9x3 = -27

x+6= -27 (if the symbols are same you need to add if symbols are different you need to subtract.) the bigger  numbers symbol  will tell if number is positive or negative.

x= -27-6

x= -33
