How to solve 3(x-12)=15

Question 1

Question 2

Answer:

Below

Explanation:

3 (x-12) = 15 divide both sides of the equation b y 3 to get :

x-12 = 5 now add 12 to both sides

x = 17 Done.

Question 3

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\huge\textbf{Solving for x or simplify this equation}$

$\mathsf{3(x - 12) = 15}$

$\huge\textbf{DISTRIBUTE 3 within PARENTHESES}$

$\mathsf{3(x) + 3(-12) = 15}$

$\mathsf{3x - 36 = 15}$

$\huge\textbf{ADD 36 to BOTH SIDES}$

$\mathsf{3x - 36 + 36 = 15 + 36}$

$\huge\textbf{SIMPLIFY IT}$

$\mathsf{3x = 15 + 36}$

$\mathsf{3x = 51}$

$\huge\textbf{DIVIDE 3 to BOTH SIDES}$

$\mathsf{(3x)/(3) = (51)/(3)}$

$\huge\textbf{SIMPLIFY IT}$

$\mathsf{x = (51)/(3)}$

$\mathsf{x = 17}$

$\huge\text{Therefore, your answer should be:}$

$\huge\boxed{\mathsf{x = 17}}\huge\checkmark$
