Hello!
Explanation:
Distributive property: → a(b+c)=ab+ac
Expand.
[tex]6(x-9)=6x-54[/tex]
[tex]6x-54=3x+2[/tex]
First, add by 54 from both sides of an equation.
[tex]6x-54+54=3x+2+54[/tex]
Then, simplify by equation.
[tex]6x=3x+56[/tex]
You can also subtract by 3x from both sides of an equation.
[tex]6x-3x=3x+56-3x[/tex]
Simplify.
[tex]3x=56[/tex]
Next, divide by 3 from both sides of an equation.
[tex]\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{56}{3}[/tex]
Answer: →[tex]\boxed{x=56/3}[/tex] and [tex]x=18.6=19.0[/tex]
Hope this helps!
Have a great day!
