Answer:
[tex]6(x + 8) = 8x + 36[/tex]
• open the bracket by applying distributive property.
[tex]6x + 48 = 8x + 36[/tex]
• collect all x terms on left hand side, and constants on the right hand side:
[tex]6x - 8x = 36 - 48 \\ - 2x = - 12[/tex]
• divide either sides by -2 :
[tex] \frac{ - 2x}{ - 2} = \frac{ - 12}{ - 2} \\ \\ { \underline{ \underline{ \: \:B): x = 6 \: \: }}}[/tex]
