okay so were trying to figure out what x equals here , give me a minute to solve this :)

OpenStudy (the_puppet1):

Ok

OpenStudy (the_puppet1):

Just help meh PLZ

OpenStudy (mysticfury):

so to solve it algebraically. we need to get x alone since its adding we can subtract 6 from both sides 3x + (6-6) = (15-6) 3x = 9 then we can divide 9 ÷ 3 = 3 so x = 3 we can check by plugging it in the equation 3 x 3 + 6 = 15 9 + 6 = 15 15 = 15 ! so 3 is our answer but i think since theres a question mark above the equal sign and it says "value substituted" it wants you to substitute what it says the value of x is in the equation and fill in the answers in that case is as simple as that 3 x 2 + 6 = 15 6 + 6 = 15 12 = 15 ... No .. 3 x 3 + 6 = 15 i did this above :) and yes it equals it so i think they just want you to fill in the blanks there but if not i showed you how to solve the algebra equation :)

OpenStudy (mysticfury):

sorry that took a while to type :P

OpenStudy (the_puppet1):

It is a fill in the blank question

OpenStudy (mysticfury):

ah well then fill in the blanks!

I got 1 so how do I do the 2nd one?

OpenStudy (the_puppet1):

On the paper do I put what you said in the 1st or 2nd part?

OpenStudy (mysticfury):

3 x 2 + 6 = 15 12 = 15 3 x 3 + 6 = 15 15 = 15
