Question

Rewrite the equation 6 = 9(x + 3) using the Distributive Property

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation after applying the Distributive property:

6 = 9x + 27

The equation solved:

x = -2.33333333

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property means that you will multiply the items inside of the parenthesis by the number right out side, in this case (x + 3) by 9.

9 * x = 9x

9 * 3 = 27

our new equation will look like:

6 = 9x + 27

now we will be able to solve!

let’s start by subtracting 27 from both sides.

27 - 27 = 0

6 - 27 = -21

9x = -21

divide both sides by 9.

9x/9 = x

-21/9 = -2.33333333

x = -2.33333333

Answer 2

The answer is:

6 = 9x + 27

depending on what you are supposed to do.
