Hey there! :D
Use the distributive property.
a(b+c)= ab+ac
6(9x+2)+2x
54x+12+2x
56x+ 12 <== equivalent expression
I hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:
Shes wrong because she did it in 3 hours which means she would have made 3 cards and not 9.
Firstly, you've got to expand the brackets, this becomes;
8a-4= -10a+ 50
You've then got to eliminate the -10a and you do this by adding 10a to both sides,
This then becomes 18a-4=50
You've then got to add 4, to eliminate this, which then becomes 18a=54
You've then got to divide both sides by 18, and this becomes 3.
Therefor, a=3
Hope this helps :)
