What value of x makes the equation true?

16 + (18 + 10) = (x + 18) + 10

x = ?

  See below

Step-by-step explanation:

16 + (18 + 10) = (x + 18) + 10x

16 + 28 = (x + 18) + 10x        Add like terms in the parentheses

44 = (x + 10x) + 18               Use the community property to regroup like

                                            terms

44 = 11x + 18                         Simply

-18 =        -18                         Substract 18 from both side

26  = 11x                               Simply

26  =  11x                              Divide by 11

11        11

                              Reduce
