6(x-1)/8=3(x+3)/8 x=?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

multiply each term by 8 to eliminate the brackets expand the brackets 6x - 6 = 3x + 9 collect like terms 3x = 15 that should be enough help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because you take you divide 3x = 15 divide each by 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Three goes into 3x once so all you have left is the x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then you take 3 divided by 15 and you get 5 so your answer is x=5 :)
