Question

Solve x and give our answer as a improper fraction in its simplest form:

Answer 1

Hello!

Explanation:

Distributive property: → a(b+c)=ab+ac

Expand.

$6(x-9)=6x-54$

$6x-54=3x+2$

First, add by 54 from both sides of an equation.

$6x-54+54=3x+2+54$

Then, simplify by equation.

$6x=3x+56$

You can also subtract by 3x from both sides of an equation.

$6x-3x=3x+56-3x$

Simplify.

$3x=56$

Next, divide by 3 from both sides of an equation.

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{56}{3}$

Answer: →$\boxed{x=56/3}$ and $x=18.6=19.0$

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!
