Question

What is the solution to the following equation? 4(3x − 6) + 15 = 27

Answer 1

The answer to this equation would be X = 3. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

4(3x - 6) + 15 = 27

First multiply the parenthesis by 4:

4(3x - 6) + 15 = 27

12x -24 + 15 = 27

Next, calculate the sum:

12x -24 + 15 = 27

12x -9 = 27

Next, move constant to the right side and change its sign:

12x -9 = 27

12x = 27 + 9

Next, add the numbers:

12x = 27 + 9

12 x = 36

Finally divide both sides by 12:

x = 3
