Kendall Hatfield · Answer 1

54+2x=5x-3 (2+6x) = Given

54+2x=5x-6-18x = Distributive Property

54+2x=-13x-6 = Combine Like Terms

54=-15x-6 = Subtraction Property of Equality

60=-15x = Addition Property of Equality

-4=x = Division Property of Equality

Tucker Coleman · Answer 2

54+2x=5x-3 (2+6x)

54+2x=5x-6-18x

2x-5x+18x=-6-54

15x=-60

x=-60:15

x=-4
