Question

-6( x - 4 ) = 54 what does x equal

Answer 1

Answer:

x=216

Step-by-step explanation:

6^x/4=54

• We move all terms to the left:

6^x/4-(54)=0

• We multiply all the terms by the denominator

6^x-54*4=0

• We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

6^x-216=0

• We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

6^x=216

x=216/1

x=216

Answer 2

Answer:

$- 6(x - 4) = 54 \\ - 6x + 24 = 54 \\ - 6x = 54 - 24 \\ - 6x = 30 \\ \frac{ - 6x}{6} = \frac{30}{6} \\ - x = 5 \\ ( - x = 5) \times - 1 \\ x = - 5$
