whats the solution?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh sorry hold on
OpenStudy (anonymous):
6(x+2)=24 (1)
6x+12=24 (2)
6x=12 (3)
x=12 times 6 (4)
x=72 (5)
OpenStudy (confxsedaf):
well if you look at number 4
they multiply 6x=12 which is wrong you have to divide. number 1, 2,3 look good but line 4 is wrong
OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.) 8(x + 2) = 24
2.) 8x+16=24 (distributive the 8 meaning multiply 8 by x and 8 by2)
3.) 8x=8 divide
4.) x=1
