Question

Solve the equation using the distributive property and properties of equality. 1/2(x+6)=18 What is the value of x?

Answer 1

if what you mean is what does x equal then X=30

Answer 2

The value of x is 30.

Explanation:

Given: Equation
`(1)/(2)(x+6)=18`

We have to find the value of x in the given equation.

Consider the given equation
`(1)/(2)(x+6)=18`

Using distributive property
`a\cdot(b+c)=a\cdot b+a\cdot c`

We have,

`(1)/(2)x+3=18`

Now, Subtract 3 both side, we have,

`(1)/(2)x=15`

Multiply both side by 2, we have,

x = 30

Thus, The value of x is 30.
