Question

Solve for x.


23=79(6x−36)+9

Answer 1

23 = 79(6x - 36) + 9

Distribute 79 inside the parentheses.

23 = 474x - 2,844 + 9

Combine like terms.

23 = 474x - 2,835

Add 2,835 to both sides.

2,858 = 474x

Divide both sides by 474.

x = 2,858/474

Simplified by dividing both sides by 2: 1,429/237

Your answer is x = 1,429/237.

Answer 2

23=474x-2844+9
23=474x-2835
-474x=-2835-23
-474x=-2858
x=1429/237
