Question

Sovle the following equation x: 6(4x + 5) = 3(x + 8) + 3​

Answer 1

`\boxed{\bold{x=-(1)/(7)}}`

Equation:

`\bold{6\left(4x+5\right)=3\left(x+8\right)+3}`

Step By Step Explanation:

• Expand
  `\bold{6\left(4x+5\right): \ 24x+30}`

• Expand
  `\bold{3\left(x+8\right)+3: \ 3x+27}`

`\bold{24x+30=3x+27}`

• Subtract 30 From Both Sides

`\bold{24x+30-30=3x+27-30}`

• Simplify

`\bold{24x=3x-3}`

• Subtract 3x From Both Sides

`\bold{24x-3x=3x-3-3x}`

• Simplify

`\bold{21x=-3}`

• Divide Both Sides By 21

`\bold{(21x)/(21)=(-3)/(21)}`

• Simplify

`\bold{x=-(1)/(7)}`

`\boxed{\bold{Mordancy}}`

Answer 2

x = -1/7

Explanation:

6(4x + 5) = 3(x + 8) + 3​

Distribute

24x+30 = 3x+24 +3

Combine like terms

24x +30 = 3x+27

Subtract 3x from each side

24x-3x +30 = 3x+27-3x

21x +30 = 27

Subtract 30 from each side

21x +30 -30=27-30

21x = -3

Divide by 21

21x/21 = -3/21

x = -1/7
