Question

What is 7(x+6)=3(x+9)

Answer 1

x= -3.75

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = -15/4

Explanation:

7(x+6)=3(x+9)

Distribute

7x+42 = 3x+27

Subtract 3x from each side

7x-3x+42 = 3x-3x+27

4x +42 = 27

Subtract 42 from each side

4x+42-42 = 27-42

4x =-15

Divide each side by 4

4x/4 =-15/4

x = -15/4
