Question

Another Algebra Problem! -6(9x - 6) = 306 Help plz!

Answer 1

I think i got it. I came up with -5!

Answer 2

-17

Answer 3

-54x+36=306
-54x=270
x=306/(-54)
x=-5

Answer 4

You didnt distribute .

Answer 5

what?

Answer 6

Solve for x:
-6 (9 x-6) = 306
Factor the polynomial, -6+9 x.
Factor 3 from the polynomial 9 x-6:
-63 (3 x-2) = 306
Multiply -6 and 3 together.
-6×3 = -18:
-18 (3 x-2) = 306
Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.
Divide both sides of -18 (3 x-2) = 306 by -18:
(-18 (3 x-2))/(-18) = 306/(-18)
Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.
(-18)/(-18) = 1:
3 x-2 = 306/(-18)
Reduce 306/(-18) to lowest terms.
The gcd of 306 and -18 is 18, so 306/(-18) = (18×17)/(18 (-1)) = 18/18×17/(-1) = 17/(-1):
3 x-2 = 17/(-1)
Simplify the sign of 17/(-1).
Multiply numerator and denominator of 17/(-1) by -1:
3 x-2 = -17
Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.
Add 2 to both sides:
3 x+(-2+2) = -17+2
Look for two terms that sum to zero.
-2+2 = 0:
3 x = -17+2
Evaluate -17+2.
-17+2 = -15:
3 x = -15
Solve for x.
Divide both sides of 3 x = -15 by 3:
(3 x)/(3) = (-15)/3
Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.
3/3 = 1:
x = (-15)/3
Reduce (-15)/3 to lowest terms.
The gcd of -15 and 3 is 3, so (-15)/3 = (3 (-5))/(3×1) = 3/3×-5 = -5:
Answer: |
| x = -5
