To find the value of X in the equation 6(x + 18) = 192, we first need to simplify the equation.
Start by distributing the 6 on the left side of the equation:
6(x + 18) = 6x + 108
Now the equation becomes:
6x + 108 = 192
Subtract 108 from both sides of the equation:
6x = 84
Divide both sides by 6:
x = 14
Therefore, the value of X in Jarred's equation is 14.
