Question

Why is the solution to this equation 3(95-6x)=x-152

Answer 1

`3(95 - 6x) = x - 152`

First we work out the brackets.

`285 - 18x = x - 152`

Now we collect terms

`- 19x = - 437`

Finally we divide both sides by -19 to find out our answer.

`x = 23`

Answer 2

you would distribute the 3 to 95 and -6x and you would get 285-18x=x-152, then you would subtract x from both sides and you would get 285-19x= -152, then you would subtract 285 from both sides and you would get -19x= - 437, then you divide both sides by -19 and you would get x= 23
