In the expression 2 (4x + 6) = 78, what is the number you divide by at the end to get the answer?

8

Step-by-step explanation:

first we will just solve the expression 2 (4x + 6) = 78

1. use destributive property with 2 (4x + 6)

2*4x=8x

2*6=12

(8x+12) = 78

2. now that the expression is simplified down we will subtract 6 by 6 to isolate it

6-6+=0

78-6=72

3. now we can divide 8x by 8 also divide 78 by 8

8x/8=0

78/8 = 9.75
