[tex]~~~~~~6(2+x) = -18\\\\\implies 2+x = -\dfrac{18}6\\\\\implies 2+x = -3\\\\\implies x = -3-2\\\\\implies x =-5[/tex]

Given equation:

  • -18 = 6(2 + x)

Step-by step solution;

Simplifying the distributive property;

⇒ -18 = (6 × 2) + (6 × x)  

Further simplifying the distributive property;

⇒ -18 = (12) + (6x)

Subtracting 12 to both sides of the equation;

⇒ -18 - 12 = (12) + (6x) - 12

Simplifying both sides of the equation;

⇒ -30 = (6x)

Dividing 6 to both sides of the equation;

⇒ -30/6 = (6x)/6

⇒ -5 = x

Therefore, the value of "x" is -5.
