Answer:
18 is your answer
Step-by-step explanation:
First, distribute 4 to all terms within the parenthesis.
4(x - 6) = 4x - 24
4x - 24 = x + 30
Next, isolate the x. Add 24 to both sides, and subtract x from both sides
4x (-x) - 24 (+24) = x (-x) + 30 (+24)
4x - x = 30 + 24
Simplify. Combine like terms
3x = 54
Isolate the x. Divide 3 from both sides
(3x)/3 = (54)/3
x = 54/3
x = 18
