1.Jose is solving an equation 4(x-2) = 18. The first step to solving is 4x -8 = 18. What would the next step be?

PLS HELP THANK YOU

x = 13/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute: 4(x - 2) = 18

4x - 8 = 18

Add 8 to both sides

4x - 8 + 8 = 18 + 8

Simplify:

4x = 26

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

4x = 26

4x/4 and 26/4

Cancel term that are both in the numerator and denominator

Divide the numbers

X = 13/2

is this a multiple choice question?

if so it's a and c

the best buy, is the 4- kilogram bag of lollipops for $18.40.

step-by-step explanation:

i found my answer by dividing the cost of each bag by their respective weights.

14.88 divided by 2 = 7.44

17.29 divided by 3 = 5.77

18.4 divided by 4 = 4.6

24.4 divided by 5 = 4.88

by this, i found that the 4 kilo bag is the best buy.
