Question

Which equation is equivalent to 3x+ 6 = 27?

3x + 3x = 27


3(x + 6) =27


6x + 3 = 27


3(x + 2) =27

Answer 1

3(x+ 2) = 27

Distribute =

3x + 6 =27

Answer 2

3(x+2) = 27.

Explanation:

Subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation, we get:

3x + 6 - 6 = 27 - 6

Simplifying:

3x = 21

Dividing both sides by 3:

x = 7

So the equation equivalent to 3x+6=27 is:

3(x+2) = 3(7+2) = 3(9) = 27

Therefore, the answer is 3(x+2) = 27.
