Given the statement:
Six times the difference of x and 22
Solution:
The numerical statement can be written as,
6(x - 22) = 0
Now we can simplify the equation and find the value of x by distributing 6 to each value inside the parenthesis.
6(x - 22) = 0
Simplified form: 6x - 132 = 0
To find for the value of x, transpose - 132 to the other side of the equation, hence we must take note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
6x = 132
Divide both sides by 6 in order to find the value of x.
6x/6 = 132/6
x = 22
Final answer:
Simplified form: 6x - 132 = 0
x = 22
