How do you solve #2x -6 = 18#?
1 Answer
Explanation:
- Isolate the variable term.
#2x\cancel{-6}\cancel{\color{indianred}{+6}}=18\color{indianred}{+6}# simplify...
#2x=24# - Get the variable alone to solve for it.
#(\cancel(2)x)/(\cancel(\color(seagreen)(2)))=24/\color(seagreen)(2)# simplify...
#x=12#
