Question

Solve for x

−6 x 18= 4(x+8)

Answer 1

I got to -6x + 18= 4x + 32 and can't figure out what to do next

Answer 2

From here, you want to make "x" the subject or isolate x. :)
\[-6x + 18 = 4x + 32\]
To do this, you would ADD 6x to both sides
\[-6x + 18 + 6x = 4x + 32 + 6x\]
Collect like terms:
\[18 = 10x + 32\]
Now, subtract 32 from both sides to make "10x" the subject.
\[18 - 32 = 10x + 32 - 32\]
\[18 - 32 = 10x\]
Do you know where to go from here? ^_^
