Answer: x = 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

18 = 6 (2x - 8)

Using distributive property, this becomes 18 = 12x - 48

Add 48 to each side

66 = 12x

Divide each side by 12

5.5 = x

Answer:

x=5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Question: 18=6(2x-8)

1) Distribute 6 to 2x and -8:

18=12x-48

2) Add 48 to both sides:

66=12x

3) Divide both sides by 12:

x=5.5

Don't forget- the Distributive property says a(b+c)=ab+ac
