Answer quickly please.

Solve the following equation, explaining what you did in each step of your solution. After solving the equation, show the steps to check your solution. 3x+2(4+6x)=133

Answer 1

8.333333

Explanation:

3x+2(4+6x)=133

3x+8+12x=133 First I distibuted the 2 too the 4 and 6x

15x+8=133 Then I added the x es 3x and 12x

15x+8-8=133-8 Then I subracted 8 from both sides

15x=125 That leaves with this

15x/15=125/15 Now I divide 15 from both sides to isolate x

x= 8.33333 that is the answer

check

3x+2(4+6x)=133

3*8.333333+2(4+6*8.333333)=133

24.999999 +2(4+ 49.999998)=133

24.999999+2( 53.999998)=133

24.999999+107.999996=133

132.999995=133
