6x-15=3(4x+3) Distribute the three to the parentheses 6x-15=12x+9 Transfer the 6 over to the 12 by subtracting it -15=6x+9 Subtract 9 from 15 -24=6x Then divide the six by the -24 X=-4
[tex]6x - 15 = 3(4x + 3) [/tex] then you distribute the three so you would do [tex]3 \times 4x = 12x[/tex] [tex]3 \times 3 = 9[/tex] [tex]6x - 15 = 12x + 9[/tex] then you get the variables on the same side [tex] - 6x[/tex] on each side so you would have 6x on the right side then you subtract the nine so you would have -24 on the left side so now you have [tex] - 24 = 6x[/tex] then you divided by 6 which the answer equals [tex]x = - 4[/tex]
