Question

6(x-2)=3(8-x)?

What’s the answer and the operation!!!

Answer 1

4

6(x-2)=3(8-x)

Distribute 6 through the parentheses

6x - 12 = 3 (8 - x)
6x - 12 = 24 - 3x

Move variable to the left-hand side and change its sign

6x + 3x - 12 = 24
6x + 3x = 24 + 12

Collect like terms

6x - 3x = 24 + 12
= 9x = 24 + 12
= 9x + 36

Divide both sides of the equation by 9
9x = 36
= 4

X = 4
