Show your work.

Answer 1

Answer: x=5

3(2x+5)=45

Use distributive property and multiply 3 into the parenthesis

So, 6x+15= 45

Now subtract 15 from both sides

6x=30

Now isolate x by dividing 6 on both sides

6x/6=30/6

X=5

Answer 2

x = 5

Explanation:

3(2(5)+5)=45

3(10+5)=45

3(15)=45

45=45
