Question

Solve for x. Show each step for full credit. Circle your final answer. 4(8-x)+36=102-6x

Answer 1

4(8-x)+36=102-6x

Expand by using distributive property

32 - 4x + 36 = 102 - 6x

Combine like terms

-4x + 68 = 102 - 6x

Add 6x to both sides

2x + 68 = 102

Subtract 68 from both sides

2x = 34

Divide both sides by 2

x = 17

Answer

x = 17
