Simplify to create an equivalent expression. 7(2 + 2x) + (x + 2) x 6 =

20x + 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the equation to make distributing easier:

7(2 + 2x) + (x + 2) x 6

7(2 + 2x) + 6(x + 2)

Distribute the 7 and 6 to each set of parentheses:

14 + 14x + 6x + 12

Add like terms:

20x + 26

So, the equivalent expression is 20x + 26

nossa

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17
