how do i solve
6(x + &) -20 = 6x
i meant 6(x + 7) -20 = 6x
6(x + 7) -20 = 6x
6x-42-20=6x
-62=0
no solution
To solve this equation, we will first simplify the expression on the left-hand side by distributing the 6 to both terms inside the parentheses:
6(x + &) - 20 = 6x
6x + 6& - 20 = 6x
Next, we will eliminate the variable from one side of the equation. Since we have 6x on both sides, we can subtract 6x from both sides to cancel them out:
6x - 6x + 6& - 20 = 6x - 6x
6& - 20 = 0
Now, we can isolate the term containing the variable by moving the constants to the right-hand side:
6& = 20
Finally, to find the value of the variable "&," we will divide both sides by 6:
6&/6 = 20/6
& = 20/6
Simplifying the right-hand side:
& = 10/3
Therefore, the solution to the equation 6(x + &) - 20 = 6x is "& = 10/3".
