Question

Can someone please solve this I'm stuck and an explanation would be nice
3(5 + x) = 60

Answer 1

• x = 15

Explanation:

Solution

`\large \sf \leadsto \: \: 3(5 + x) = 60`

Now,

`\large \sf \leadsto \: 15 + 3x = 60`

`\large \sf \leadsto \: 3x = 60 - 15`

`\large \sf \leadsto3x = 45`

`\large \sf \leadsto x= (45)/(3)`

`\large \bf \leadsto \: x \: = 15`

`\underline { \rule{190pt}{5pt}}`

Answer 2

`\large \maltese \: \: { \underline{ \underline{ \pmb{ \sf{SolutioN }}}}} : -`

• ➺ 3 (5 + x) = 60
• ➺ 3 (5) + 3 (x) = 60
• ➺ 3 × 5 + 3 × x = 60
• ➺ 15 + 3 × x = 60
• ➺ 15 + 3x = 60
• ➺ 3x = 60 - 15
• ➺ 3x = 45
• ➺ x = 45/3
• ➺ x = 15
