Question

Solve the equation and explain each step.4(x-6)=12

Answer 1

x=9, S={9}

1) To solve this linear equation let's apply the distributive property

4(x-6)=12​

4x -24 = 12 Isolating the x variable on the left side, adding 24 to both sides

4x -24+24 = 12+24

4x = 36 Dividing both sides by 4

x=9

S={9}
