Question

i just did this problem can you check to see if i did it right? ---- 15+3(2x-9)=60 ---12(2x-9)=60 --- 24x-216=60 --- 24x/24 276/24 --- than the answer would be x=12?

Answer 1

oops no. u did it wrong.
15+3(2x-9)=60
15+3*2x-3*9=60
15+6x-27=60
Can u do from this?

Answer 2

or 60 - 27 my bad

Answer 3

I think you did a mistake on the second step...
consider that \[15+3\left( 2x-9 \right)=60\]
\[3\left( 2x-9 \right)=60-15\]

you can continue the next step... :)

I think you can also solve it this way... :)

Answer 4

it will be
15+6x-27=60
15+6x-27+27=60+27

Answer 5

nowww dont i have to simplify 15+6x before i divide?

Answer 6

well before i add THEN divide

Answer 7

U hav
15+6x=87
Subtract 15 both sides.
Then divide by 6 both sides.

Answer 8

x=2?
