Answer 1

It’s going to be b ……………

Answer 2

Answer:

$6(x + 8) = 8x + 36$

• open the bracket by applying distributive property.

$6x + 48 = 8x + 36$

• collect all x terms on left hand side, and constants on the right hand side:

$6x - 8x = 36 - 48 \\ - 2x = - 12$

• divide either sides by -2 :

$\frac{ - 2x}{ - 2} = \frac{ - 12}{ - 2} \\ \\ { \underline{ \underline{ \: \:B): x = 6 \: \: }}}$
