Question

Please help, the blue dot is random

Answer 1

The equation would be 5(x + 3) = 45

To solve:

1) Distribute 5 to x and then 5 to 3

2) That gives you this equation: 5x + 15 = 45

3) Then subtract 15 from both sides

4) You should get this: 5x = 30

5) Then divide 5/5 and 30/5 to isolate the x

6) The answer should be: x = 6
