1.
2.
<u>Written Explanation: </u>
1.
-2x(3x+9)=-54
-6x-`8=54 (Distributive property)
Add 18 to both sides
-6x=-36
Divide both sides by -6 (negative divided by a negative equals a positive)
x=6
2.
2(3x+4)-3x=35
6x+8-3x=35 (distributive property)
3x+8=35 (combine Iike terms and then subtract them 6x-3x=3x)
Subtract 8 from both sides
3x=27
Divide both sides by 3
x=9
