Question

(3x – 3) = [16(x - 10)] what is the value of x​

Answer 1

x = 19

Explanation:

So we have to solve the problem in the bracket first. So we have to distribute.

3x - 3 = 6x - 60

Subtract 6x from both sides

-3x - 3 = -60

Add 3 to both sides

-3x = -57

Divide both sides by -3

x = 19

Answer 2

x = 19

Explanation:

(3x - 3) = (6(x - 10))

remove parenthesis:

3x - 3 = 6(x - 10)

distribute the 6:

3x - 3 = 6x - 60

subtract 3x from both sides:

-3 = 3x - 60

add 60 to both sides:

3x = 57

divide by 3:

x = 19
