Question

Solve for x.

9(x - 2) = 18

Answer 1

First, you'll pass the nine to the right hand side. Whatever it is doing there, it will be doing the opposite on the other side. So in this case: 9(x-2) = 18, 9 is multiplying. So you'd get:
x-2= 18/9. Then for the two, it is subtracting so passing it along would make it:
X= 18/9 + 2. I'll leave the rest to you.
