Question

How to solve 3(x-12)=15

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

`\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`
