SOLVE THE EQUATION −9(x + 6) + 60 = 13 − 10x

yuradex [85]

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

−9(x + 6) + 60 = 13 − 10x

Distribute

−9x -54 + 60 = 13 − 10x

Combine like terms

-9x +6 = 13 -10x

Add 10x to each side

-9x+10x +6 = 13-10x+10x

x +6 = 13

Subtract 6 from each side

x+6-6=13-6

x = 7
