9 - 6(x+1) = 2(x-4) + 27

Hey :)

1) Use the distributive property to multiply −6 by x + 1

9−6x −6 = 2(x−4) +27

2) Subtract 6 from 9 to get 3

3−6x =2(x−4) +27

3) Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x−4

3−6x =2x−8 +27

4) Add −8 and 27 to get 19

3−6x = 2x +19

5) Subtract 2x from both sides

3−6x −2x = 19

6) Combine −6x and −2x to get −8x

3−8x = 19

7) Subtract 3 from both sides

−8x= 19−3

8) Subtract 3 from 19 to get 16

−8x = 16

9) Divide both sides by −8

x= 16/-8


10) Divide 16 by −8 to get −2

x=−2

Hope this helps :D

How many is in each case if there is 12 in each case it would be 40
