Answer:
1) 8x - 24 = 24
2) 8x - 24 + 24 = 24 + 24
3) 8x = 48
4) x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Bolded are the answer choices:
4(2x - 6) = 24
First, distribute 4 to all terms within the parenthesis:
4(2x - 6) = 24
(4 * 2x) - (4 * 6)
(8x) - (24) = 24
8x - 24 = 24.
Next, add 24 to both sides of the equations:
8x - 24 (+24) = 24 (+24)
8x = 24 + 24
8x = 48
8x - 24 + 24 = 24 + 24
Then, divide 8 from both sides of the equation:
(8x)/8 = (48)/8
x = 48/8 = 6
8x = 48
x = 6
