$x = 2$ $x=2$

Since both x and 6 are being multiplied by 4, we can multiply both sides by 1/4 like so;

$\frac{4 (x + 6)}{4} = \frac{32}{4}$ $(4(x+6))/4=(32)/4$

$x + 6 = 8$ $x+6=8$

Now we just subtract 6 from both sides and we're done! :D

$x = 2$ $x=2$

How do you solve 4(x + 6) = 324(x+6)=324(x + 6) = 32?
