OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u explain d procedure... @Bgarza95

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i can not try it on mathway.com that will explain it to you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2(x+6) - (x+1) = 16 expand the brackets 2x+12-x-1=16 now if you look the -1 is multiplied by each term in the second bracket x+11=16 then you subtract 11 from both sides x=16-11 x=5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks @LMar100%
