Question

the hanger diagram has been updated to show a group of 3 4. keep adding the same amount to each side so that x is remaining on the left. then rewrite the equation to solve for x. steps to solve: here you need to do two things: first, show your subtraction. then, combine like

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by 3

$\frac{3(x+4)}{3} = \frac{18}{3}$
Simplify to get: $x+4 = 6$

Step2: Subtract 4 from both sides

$x+4-4 = 6-4$

Answer:

$x=2$
