3 (x-6) + 6=5x-6 useing distributive property

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

3 (x-6) + 6=5x-6 - Problem

The Distributive property says a (b+c) = ab+ac. Using this knowledge, lets solve.

1) Distribute 3 to x and - 6:

3x-18+6=5x-6

2) Combine alike terms: (-18 and 6)

3x-12=5x-6

3) Subtract 3x from both sides:

-12=2x-6

4) Add 6 to both sides:

2x=-6

5) Divide both sides by 2:

x=-3
