Question

Help please I'm stuck show and explain your work

Answer 1

The expressions D, E, and F represent a correct solution to the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

First, we need to solve the given equation and find the value of x which satisfies the equation.

$6(x+4)=20, (x+4) = \frac{20}{6} = 3.333,$

$x = 3.333 - 4 = -0.666.$

So the value of x for the given equation is -0.666.

Step 2:

Now we evaluate the values of the six given options to see which ones have an x value of -0.666.

A. $\frac{20-4}{6}= \frac{16}{6} = 2.666,$

B. $\frac{1}{6} (20-4)= \frac{1}{6} (16)=\frac{16}{6} = 2.666,$

C. 20 -6 -4 = 20 - 10 = 10.

D. $\frac{20}{6} -4= 3.333 - 4 = -0.666,$

E. $\frac{1}{6} (20-24) = \frac{1}{6} (-4)= -0.666,$

F. $(20-24)\frac{1}{6} = (-4)\frac{1}{6} = -0.666.$

So the options D, E, and F represent a correct solution to the given equation.
