6 (2x+8) = 60

solve for x

6 (2x + 8) = 60

= Open the brakcets, by timing 6 with values inside brakcet

6 x 2x = 12x

6 x 8 = 48

12x + 48 = 60

12x = 60 - 48

12x = 12

x = 12 / 12

x = 1

If you dont know, when values are taken to opposite side of equation, signs change (minus becomes plus)

6x (2+8) = 60 There is no answer missing
