Question:

how do i solve
-6(x+1)+4=16


Answer:

-6( x + 1 ) + 4 = 16

Use distributive property and hence remove the parenthesis....

==> -6* x - 6 * 1+ 4 = 16

==> -6x - 6 + 4 = 16

==> -6x - 2 = 16

Add 2 on both sides...

==> -6x - 2 + 2 = 16 + 2

==> -6x = 18


Divide both sides by -6

==>

==> , which is the solution.


Hope you found the explanation useful.
