Question

6 (-2 + 5x) - 6x = -180

Answer 1

i got the first part then i got lost ;-;

Answer 2

so what i got so far is 12-+30

Answer 3

this is so 😃

Answer 4

confusing

Answer 5

6(-2+5x)-6x=-180

Answer 6

you would start of by solving \(6(-2+5x)\)
you can solve that by using the distributive property,
the distributive property is when you multiply the number that is outside of the parenthesis by everything that is inside of the parenthesis, \(a(b+c)=ab+ac\)

so, using the distributive property to solve \(6(-2+5x)\) you would be multiplying 6 by the numbers that are inside of the parenthesis,
\(6\times-2 =?\\6\times5x=?\)
do you think you can solve that?

Answer 7

thank you

Answer 8

i think i can

Answer 9

confused btw i have the same work as her

Answer 10

you still confused?

Answer 11

yes

Answer 12

so 6 x -2 = -12

Answer 13

OHHHh

Answer 14

and 6 x 5 = 30

Answer 15

who knows what -4(-3+6x)-4x =180 who knows the answer for this

Answer 16

so its -12 + 30x

Answer 17

ayo supie thank you fot helping

Answer 18

for*

Answer 19

yeah

Answer 20

alr so you still need help or no- ?

Answer 21

yes

Answer 22

yes

Answer 23

k then do it lol

Answer 24

36? or - 36?

Answer 25

no, remember that you're adding negative 6x not just 6x
so you're technically subtracting 30x-6x

Answer 26

ohhh okay

Answer 27

so 30x-6x= what

Answer 28

24

Answer 29

or

Answer 30

-24

Answer 31

both are technically wrong, it would actually be 24x
because 30-6=24
so 30x-6x=24x
you did good but you just forgot the x

so now you're left with the equation \(24x−12=−180\)
what you would do is get `-12` and change the minus to a plus
then add 12 to both sides of the equation
you would be doing \(24x\cancel{\color{Red}{−12+12}}=\color{aqua}{−180+12}\)
-12+12 cancels,
what's -180+12?

Answer 32

6x

Answer 33

or - 6 x

Answer 34

sorry i was afk
and it's -180+12 not -18+12

Answer 35

but it would give you \(−168\)
and we're left with \(24x=−168\)

Answer 36

the next step is to divide both sides of \(24x=−168\) by 24
\(\large\cancel{\frac{24x}{24}}=\frac{-168}{24}\)
24x/2x cancels, because 24÷24=1
and we're left with 1x,
and 1x=x
so we have
\(\large x=\frac{-168}{24}\)
and \(-160÷24=-7\)
so, \(x=-7\)
