3(5x - 6) = 6(2x - 12)


Sagot :

Answer:

x = -18

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute: 3*5x = 15x ; 3*-6 = -18 ; 6*2x = 12x ; 6*-12 = -72

15x - 18 = 12x - 72

Add 18 to both sides: 15x = 12x - 54

Subtract 12x from both sides: 3x = -54

Divide both sides by 3: x = -18

Answer:

x= 17.666666...

Step-by-step explanation:

3(5x - 6) = 6(2x - 12)

(3 times 5x , 3 times  -6)             (6 times 2x, 6 times - 12)

15x-18 = 12x -72           (multiply insides)

-12x       -12x              (remove 12x from right side)

3x-19 = -72                (product)

   +19 = +19                (add 19 left side to remove it)

3x = 53                        (product)

x = [tex]\frac{53}{3}[/tex]                              (divide)

x= 17.666666...                (answer)

x = 17.67                     (if simplify)
