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 Jarred's equation?
A. 11
B. 14
C. 29
D. 35
To find the value of x, we first need to 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. So, the answer is B. 14.
