A furniture store sells kits that customers use to build cabinets. Each kit contains 18 screws and a set number of boards. Jarred buys 6 of these kits and has a total of 192 screws and boards. He writes the equation shown to represent the situation. 6(x + 18) = 192 What is the value of X in Jarred's equation?
To find the value of x in Jarred's equation, we need to first simplify the equation:
6(x + 18) = 192
6x + 108 = 192
6x = 192 - 108
6x = 84
x = 84/6
x = 14
Therefore, the value of x in Jarred's equation is 14.
