Question

Find the value of x −8(x−6)=32

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

-8(x-6) = 32 (distribute)

-8x+48 = 32 (subtract 48 from both sides)

-8x = -16 (divide)

x = 2

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide both sides :

−8(x−6)=32

Divide both sides of the eqaution by -8 :

x - 6 = -4

Move the constant to the right :

x - 6 = -4

Move the constant to the right - hand side and change its sign :

x = -4 + 6

Calculate :

x = -4 + 6

Calculate the sum :

x = 2

Therefore, the answer is x = 2
