Question

-⅔ (6x +9) = 18 I really need some help and understanding with this one. Thanks in advance!!

Answer 1

-⅔ (6x + 9) = 18

Apply distributive property. Multipy -⅔ to 6x and 9.

-4x - 6 = 18

Add 6 to both sides so -4x can be alone.

-4x - 6 + 6 = 18 + 6

-4x = 24

To get x alone, divide both sides by -4.

-4/-4x = 24/-4

x = -6

x = -6 is your answer. I hope this helps! Let me know if you need more help or if I got something wrong.
