Answer:
13
Explanation:
(2x+6)=32
Remove the brackets.
2x+6=32
Carry over the 6 to the 32. This means to put the like terms together.
2x= 32-6
2x= 26
2x= 26÷2
x= 13
To find out if the answer was correct:
First replace the variable(s) or unknown(s) with the values that we got when we solved to find the value of the x.
x=13 so x would be replaced with 13.
When replacing the variable(s) with the value, put it in brackets like so:
2(13)+16= 32
Remember brackets mean to multiply.
2*13+6=32
= 26+6= 32
Therefore the x is 13.
