what value of x satisfies the linear equation 6(2+4x)=13?

Question

anonymous · Answer

We want to isolate the x term (get it on one side by itself). First we should move the 6 to the other side of the equation. Do you know how to do that?

Don't know how to even start or do any of it! trying to help my son with homework but I myself haven't done this since middle school like 25 yrs ago or so!

Ah okay. What you want to do is do the opposite of whatever you want to get rid of. So if the left side is multiplied by 6 and you want to move it to the other side, you DIVIDE both sides by 6.
