To find the value of x in the equation, we need to isolate x.
First, distribute the 6:
6x + 6(18) = 192
6x + 108 = 192
Subtract 108 from both sides:
6x = 192 - 108
6x = 84
Divide by 6:
x = 84 / 6
x = 14
Therefore, the value of x in Jarred's equation is 14.
A furniture store sells kits that customers use to build cabinets. Each kit contains 18 screws and a set number of boards. Jarred buys 6 of these kits and has a total of 192 screws and boards. He writes the equation shown to represent the situation.
6(x + 18) = 192
What is the value of X in Jarred's equation?
