Order the the steps to solve the equation for x. Make sure to put the steps in order. Not all steps will be used just 4.
-6(x + 3) +x = -6x + 30
x = 12
-6x -18 + 4x = -6 x + 30
-6x +3 + 4x = -6x + 30
4x - 18 = 30
-8x + 3 = 30
-2x -18 = -6x + 30
4x = 48
-8x = 27
x = -27/8
1. -6(x + 3) + x = -6x + 30
2. Distribute -6 to the terms inside the parentheses: -6x - 18 + x = -6x + 30
3. Combine like terms on the left side of the equation: -6x + x - 18 = -6x + 30
4. Move all terms with x to one side of the equation: -6x + x + 6x - 18 = 30
5. Simplify: -5x - 18 = 30
6. Add 18 to both sides of the equation: -5x = 48
7. Divide both sides of the equation by -5: x = -27/8
Step 1: Distribute the -6 to both terms inside the parentheses:
-6x - 18 + x = -6x + 30
Step 2: Combine like terms on each side of the equation:
-5x - 18 = -6x + 30
Step 3: Add 6x to both sides to isolate the x terms on one side:
x - 18 = 30
Step 4: Add 18 to both sides to solve for x:
x = 48
Here are the steps to solve the equation for x, in the correct order:
1. Distribute the -6 to both terms inside the parentheses:
-6(x + 3) + x = -6x + 30
2. Simplify both sides by combining like terms:
-6x - 18 + x = -6x + 30
3. Simplify further by combining like terms again:
-5x - 18 = -6x + 30
4. Move all terms containing x to one side and constants to the other side:
-5x + 6x = 30 + 18
Now, you can proceed to solve the equation:
5. Combine like terms:
x = 48
Thus, the solution to the equation is x = 48.
