Answer:
the answer is 16,000 students
Step-by-step explanation:
x=-9
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−6(x+1)−18=26+4
(−6)(x)+(−6)(1)+−18=26+4(Distribute)
−6x+−6+−18=26+4
(−6x)+(−6+−18)=(26+4)(Combine Like Terms)
−6x+−24=30
−6x−24=30
Step 2: Add 24 to both sides.
−6x−24+24=30+24
−6x=54
Step 3: Divide both sides by -6.
−6x
−6
=
54
x=−9
