Question

Which of the following values of x solves 3(x-6)=18?1. x=122. x=03. x=84. x=-6

Answer 1

Answer:

Option 1. x = 12

Explanation:

Given the expression 3(x - 6) = 18

We need to get the value of "x" for the equation to be true

Expand the bracket using the distributive property

3(x-6)=18

3x - 3(6) = 18

3x - 18 = 18

Add 18 to both sides

3x - 18 + 18 = 18 + 18

3x = 36

Divide both sides of the equation by 3:

3x/3 = 36/3

x = 12

Hence the value of x that makes the equation true is 12
