Question

An equation is shown below:

6(2x – 11) + 15 = 3x + 12

Part A: Write the steps you will use to solve the equation, and explain each step. (6 points)

Part B: What value of x makes the equation true? (4 points)

Answer 1

@Fallontine

Answer 2

1. 6*2x – 6*11 + 15 = 3x + 12 //remove the bracket
2. 12x - 51 = 3x + 12 //simplify the left side
3. 15x = 63 //subtract 3x and add 51 to both sides
4. x = 4,2 // divide both sides by 15

Answer 3

can you help with part b now ? @Fallontine

Answer 4

i think A should be:
1. remove the bracket
2. simplify the left side
3. subtract 3x and add 51 to both sides
4.divide both sides by 15

and B:
4,2

i am not sure about what should be in A and B though
