Question

2x+15=27-4x

explain please

Answer 1

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\mathtt{2x + 15 = 27 - 4x }`

`\mathtt{2x + 15 = -4x + 27}`

`\large\text{ADD 4x to BOTH SIDES}`

`\mathtt{2x + 15 - 4x = -4x + 27 + 4x}`

`\large\text{SIMPLIFY it}`

`\mathtt{2x + 4x + 15 = 27}`

`\mathtt{6x + 15 = 27}`

`\large\text{SUBTRACT 15 to BOTH SIDES}`

`\mathtt{6x + 15 - 15 = 27 - 15}`

`\large\text{SIMPLIFY it}`

`\mathtt{6x = 27 - 15}`

`\mathtt{6x = 12}`

`\large\text{DIVIDE 6 to BOTH SIDES}`

`\mathtt{(6x)/(6) = (12)/(6)}`

`\mathtt{x= (12)/(6)}`

`\mathtt{x= 2}`

`\huge\text{Therefore your answer should be:}\\\\\huge\boxed{\mathtt{x = 2}}\huge\checkmark`

Answer 2

x = 2

Explanation:

2x + 15 = 27 - 4x

add 4x to both sides:

2x + 15 + 4x = 27 -4x + 4x

that is 6x + 15 = 27

subtract 15 from both sides:

6x + 15 - 15 = 27 - 15

that is 6x = 12

divide both sides by 6:

x = 2
