Answer:

The Last Equation

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]2(x+3)=32[/tex] is the same thing as [tex]2x+6=32[/tex].

Why? Because if you apply the distributive property...

[tex]2(x+3)=32\\2 * x =2x\\2*3 = 6\\\boxed {2x+6=32}[/tex]

You get what was mentioned in the question!

So, 2(x+3)=32 should have the same solution as 2x + 6 =32.

Answer:

The bottom choice, 2(x + 3) = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 6 = 32

Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

2x = 26

x = 13

Substitute the new value for x into all of the possible equations

1) 2x = 38,       2)  x - 3 = 16        3)  x + 6 = 16       4)   2(x - 3) = 16        

13 * 2 = 38           13 - 3 = 16           13 + 6 = 16              2x - 6 = 16

26 = 38                 10 = 16                  19 = 16                 13(2) - 6 = 16

False                     False                    False                   26 - 6 = 16

                                                                                           20 = 16

                                                                                             False

5)  2(x + 3) = 32

     2x + 6 = 32

    2(13) + 6 = 32        

      26 + 6 = 32

          32 = 32

             True

              The last answer choice, (the 5th one down) is correct

                                              Hope this helps :)
