In business, you may encounter situations that require you to set up equations with more than just parentheses. For practice, solve the following equation.X = 6{2 + 3[2(8 − 3) + (7 + 1) − 3]}

Answer 1

Given:

$x=6\lbrace2+3[2(8-3)+(7+1)-3]\rbrace$

Required:

To solve the given equation.

Explanation:

Consider

$x=6\lbrace2+3[2(8-3)+(7+1)-3]\rbrace$$\begin{gathered} =6\lbrace2+3[2(5)+8-3]\rbrace \\ \\ =6\lbrace2+3[10+8-3]\rbrace \\ \\ =6\lbrace2+3[15]\rbrace \\ \\ =6\lbrace2+45\rbrace \\ \\ =6\lbrace47\rbrace \\ \\ =282 \end{gathered}$

Final Answer:

$x=282$
