Question

3(x-2)=18 I need help like asap

Answer 1

Answer: x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3(x + -2) = 18

Reorder the terms:

3(-2 + x) = 18

(-2 * 3 + x * 3) = 18

(-6 + 3x) = 18

Solving

-6 + 3x = 18

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '6' to each side of the equation.

-6 + 6 + 3x = 18 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0

0 + 3x = 18 + 6

3x = 18 + 6

Combine like terms: 18 + 6 = 24

3x = 24

Divide each side by '3'.

x = 8

Simplifying

x = 8

Answer 2
