Solve the equation using the distributive property and properties ofequally 1/2 (x+6)=18 what is the value of x

x = 30

The distributive property says that we need to multiply what's in the brackets by 1/2 (so 1/2*x and 1/2*6) to get the equation 1/2x + 3 = 18.

Then we need to subtract our constant, 3, from boths sides to get 1/2x = 15.

Multiply both sides by two to isolate x and you get x = 30.

Hope this helps! :)

step-by-step explanation:

rick has $1400 and sally has $1500

step-by-step explanation:

to find amount of money rick has after 10 years :

principal = $1000 , time = 10 years , rate = 4% annually

to find amount of money sally has after 10 years :

her friend gives to pay her $50 per year, therefore money she has after 10 years = 50 × 10 = $500

also, sally gets $1000 after 10 years,

therefore, total amount of money sally has after 10 years = 500 + 1000 = $1500

so, after 10 years : rick has $1400 and sally has $1500
