Question

Plz Im really stuck on this question also plz show work so I understand how to get this question.

Answer 1

x ≈ - 0.14

Explanation:

6(4x + 5) = 3(x + 8) + 3 ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

24x + 30 = 3x + 24 + 3 , simplify

24x + 30 = 3x + 27 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

21x + 30 = 27 ( subtract 30 from both sides )

21x = - 3 ( divide both sides by 21 )

x =
`(-3)/(21)` = -
`(1)/(7)` ≈ - 0.14 ( to the nearest hundredth )
