Question

How to solve -6(x+8)

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to multiply -6 by what's inside the parenthesis.

-6* x = -6x

-6*8 = -48

And so the equation becomes -6x - 48

Then you have to isolate the x so you divide -6x and -48 by -6 which gets you

x = 8

Answer 2

Multiply -6 by x and -6 by eight.
Ex. -7(x+2)
-7*x + -7*2
-7x -14
