Question

6+6x + 6x = - 42
what x equals

Answer 1

6+6x+6x = - 42

6+12x = -42 (combine like terms)

12x = -42-6

12x = -48

x = -48/12

x = -4

Answer 2

x = -4

Explanation:

Add like terms:

6 + 6x + 6x = -42

12x + 6 = -42

Subtract 6 from both sides:

12x = -48

Divide each side by 12:

x = -4
