Solve 6[4x(72-63)divided3]
GREYUIT [131]
Parentheses first, 72-63 is 9 next multiply by 4 which is 36 the you’ll divide by 3 now you have 12 so multiply that by 6 and you get 72. Just a hint, another way to write that without using the multiply or the divided would be 6[4(72-63)/3] but either way you want is fine. Hope this helped :)

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

IMPORTANT: Both answers should add up to 180 if they dont you did it wrong!

(10x - 20) + (6x + 8 ) = 180 plug in 12 for both of them

(10 * 12 - 20) + 6 * 12 + 8) = 120

(120 - 20) + (72+ 8 ) = 180

(100) + (80) = 180

so x = 12

hope this  helps please make brainliest
