Jerry is solving the equation 6(9x−10)+2(18−3x)=−8.
step1: 6(9x)+6(−10)+2(18)+2(−3x)=−8
step2: 54x−60+36−6x=−8
which statement best describes the next step that jerry can use to solve this equation?
question 2 options:
subtract 60 from both sides.
add -60 and 36.
add 6x to 54x.
add -8 and -60.

Step-by-step explanation:

6(9x − 10) + 2(18 − 3x) = −8

use the distributive property a(b + c) = ab + ac

6(9x) + 6(-10) + 2(18) + 2(-3x) = -8

54x - 60 + 36 - 6x = -8           combine like terms

(54x - 6x) + (-60 + 36) = -8   Add -60 and 36

48x - 24 = -8        add 24 to both sides

48x = 16           divide both sides by 48

x = 16/48

x = 1/3
