What we want to do here is simplify the expression. our answer x^6 hope this . have a wonderful evening.how was the solution? let me know in chat! ~brooke

1. use commutative property to reorder the terms.2x+81=0.2. move the constant to right side by adding its opposite on both sides. 2x+81-81=0-81.2x=(-81).3. divide the equation on both sides.2x ÷ 2 = 81 ÷ 2.x = -81/2. your answer is -81/2. if you need to simplify it into a decimal, it’s -40.5.
