Alice Hartman · Answer 1

Multiply - 6 by x and - 6 by eight.

Ex. - 7 (x+2)

-7x - 14

Mandy · Answer 2

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to multiply - 6 by what's inside the parenthesis.

-6 * x = - 6x

-6*8 = - 48

And so the equation becomes - 6x - 48

Then you have to isolate the x so you divide - 6x and - 48 by - 6 which gets you

x = 8
