Question

Solve the equation for x. 3(6x - 1) = 12 a. 5/6 b. 11/18 c. 13/18 d. 1/2

Answer 1

a

Explanation:

given

3(6x - 1) = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )

`(3)/(3)` (6x - 1) =
`(12)/(3)` ( simplify both sides )

6x - 1 = 4 ( add 1 to both sides )

6x - 1 + 1 = 4 + 1 ( simplify both sides )

6x = 5 ( divide both sides by 6 )

`(6)/(6)` x =
`(5)/(6)` , that is

x =
`(5)/(6)`
