What is the solution for x in the equation: 2x + 6 = 18?

x = 4 x = 5 x = 6 x = 7

Correct Answer:

x = 6

Explanation:

To solve the equation 2x + 6 = 18, the first step is to isolate the term with the variable. This is done by subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation, which simplifies it to 2x = 12. Next, to solve for x, you need to divide both sides of the equation by 2. Performing this division gives you x = 6. This solution is correct because substituting x back into the original equation (2(6) + 6 = 18) confirms that both sides are equal. Hence, the correct value for x that satisfies the equation is 6.
