Use the distributive property.

3(6 + x) = 24

18 + 3x = 24

3x = 6

x = 2

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

3(6+x)=24

Divide both sides by 3.

6+x=24/3

Divide 24 by 3 to get 8.

6+x=8

Subtract 6 from both sides.

x=8−6

Subtract 6 from 8 to get 2.

x=2

I think the answer's 7/8. If you convert 1/4 to 2/8 and add them together, you add 5/8 and 2/8 to get 7/8.

Simplify <br> 7.2x10^3/1.8x10^7

spayn [35]

To simplify and solve this equation we must follow PEMDAS.

P=Parentheses

E=Exponents

M=Multiplication (from left to right)

D=Division (from left to right)

A=Addition

S=Substraction

We begin the process.

10^3=1000

10^7=10000000

New equation looks like this:

7.2*1000/1.8*10000000

We then multiply

7.2*1000= 7200

7200/1.8=4000

4000*10000000= 40000000000

<em>So our final answer is 40000000000.</em>

Hope this helps!

P.S. I forgot this was scientific notation and I solved it a different way. But both ways give the same answer. Let me know if you want the other method.
